Fertilizing the confusion is a practice for me. I appreciate this language and tips around what to do when we feel "lost" "confused" "stuck" or all three!
I wasn't sure which rectangle to write in ... this one or the one at the top; and I'm not sure if just you read this Jeff or if all read this ... I am on a quest to fill the content for four sessions in a day long retreat here in Western New York ... planned to be this fall ... and the essence of the retreat is on Mindfulness and Spirituality. I am seeing my growth process and ideas change ... and without anyone teaching me how to fill in the content for a retreat and how to make it weave together ... I am learning by doing it ... so it is fun and does bring uncertainty yet I am committed and there is something driving me that I cannot yet identify ... other than to know anything that brings me closer to a sense of the Divine is good for me. So, I move forward. What I am reading in this contribution from you Jeff is resonating with me and leading me to post. David.
Hi, David. Thanks for sharing your bewilderment and ways you're fertilizing uncertainty. I wonder if what drives you is a sense of devotion (wonder infused with commitment) and possibly your young genius - that unique force of character within you that might guide you toward the work you're called toward. Who knows?
I wish you the very best on facilitating this retreat.

Hi, Matt - yes, fertilizing confusion is a practice with a set of sub-practices and tools, right? I'm glad the language and tips resonate.
