Musing…
“Life is a quarry, out of which we are to mold and chisel and complete a character.” - Goethe
FORM is both a noun and a verb. The form of a container holds the
space, is a nourishing shelter, for something to grow and expand; this pregnant
space takes a seed, a spark, an idea, and brings it to form in a creative
cycle, which eventually outgrows its previous containment and an expanded form
emerges (think: chrysalis or a
snake shedding its skin or a molting).
Kate’s Turn:
Form takes place when things come
together in a plan; this could be a building, a garden, an agenda, a meal, a
book, a vacation, etc. It always
seems to begin with an idea, a seed, a spark followed by a collection and
selection of elements to create the resulting form. The growth and expansion of the dreamseed naturally result
in the need to break free; what was once safety and containment later becomes
restriction. Some occur in an instant (ex: seed breaking open), others take a
lifetime (ex: creating your life). I have outgrown many different forms for my work: in spirituality - from Christianity to
spirituality to Universal energy; in healing - from psychology to holistic
healing to personal growth. Each
initial container supported my expansion, only to eventually feel
restricting. The liminal space
between forms has caused me great angst; form brings a certain safety and definition
within the form, and until the new boundaries are felt, it feels like drifting
in space. I am in the midst of
defining a work form that integrates various aspects of myself, and so I
created a soul collage that represents the elements I wish to be a part of the
new container. You may find them
in the image: transformational,
whole-hearted, walking in 2 worlds, direct experience of spirit. The phrase that names my intention for
this expansion is: Creating form from light. Stay tuned for more definition as it emerges for
me.
“ I always wanted to be someone, but I
should have been more specific.” - Lily Tomlin
Get Fired Up:
How have you outgrown your existing forms? How can you be specific in defining a
new form that will nurture your growth? Think: renew, rebirth, reFORM. How would you title your current reFORM
process?
