Choosing images, choosing changes – choosing to face fears

A homegrown anthurium in my office

Good Morning, God!

Good MORNING from my home and my office and my HEART FULL of events and experiences and people — and photos.

Photos / images are so much more PRIMARY a means of communicating. Words are, TERTIARY! 97% of human communication is body language and tone of voice — of which the sender remains UNAWARE. We CAN focus our camera. And to some degree we can focus our conscious mind. But that is just the surface, isn’t it, God?

Malcolm Gladwell talked about this in his book, Blink. He talked about how in playing back interviews you could “catch” the person’s true feelings/intent in MICRO expressions. Because, God, I guess you have designed us to TELL THE TRUTH. We can lie with words — but our BODIES WANT TO TELL THE TRUTH.

In the book I’m reading right now, The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks the author talks about how our Bodies will sometimes kick in with “problems” to “punish” us, to “prevent” us from doing something that our unconscious thinks forbidden or unwise. Our unconscious, is just that, God. UNDER our minds awareness.

But, apparently it is connected rather closely to our body. Now, THAT is a thought to ponder. And it brings me back to my intention / desire to RESPECT my BODY. And, I guess, God, I want to respect my unconscious, too. Although, that does sound dangerous.

As I was sitting here wondering just HOW I might do that, I thought (did You help?) I COULD LISTEN TO MY DAUGHTERS — and MY MOM!  WOW! Now THAT is a radical thought. And it might lead to radical behaviors. . . and I feel that fear of change tiptoe into my being.

OK, GOD! Help me breathe into the fear and keep on going.

Story teller,

Posted in a hand up, a series of molts and upgrades, accepting my need for help, asking for help for myself, becoming the change I wish to see, breathing in Your Spirit

  1. If you have not read CGJung you are so ready to read the first of his work. Let me know and I will attempt to get it for you.

    and…I will give my Istanbul talk again because so many have asked. I would love to have you come and hear what the pictures say to you. They will say something. You do not have to listen to me, just the picture.
