Change is afoot—a new spirit on the way! Something propels me to gestate, carry and deliver my individual life in service to its coming. Certain the rational mind alone is not enough to meet the challenge, I work to develop a particular intelligence of the heart—the capacity for feeling.
Working with images (and dreams) is a great way to develop feeling.
I love the picture above. It invites me to ‘feel’ certain energies: bridled instinct, charge, carrier, mover, messenger, deliverer. Bringer of new dawns, of treasure, of power and protection. Bold. Bidden. Bursting.
At one time my habit was to ‘think’ an image, which went something like: six horses, heads high, connected by ropes or chains…will they break? Brilliant sky, no clouds. Display of wealth and power.
Thinking stands back from an image and attempts to define or explain. Feeling leans into an image and experiences what is evoked.
Thinking is valuable but feeling brings more life.
