On Saturday I met with three close-in men for Flow Group. Together we explored our respective next layers of purpose in our lives and jobs. We used Flow Game and Circle to give us just the right amount of format and context to go deep. So sweet, men in story, curiosity, laughter, and tears together.
One of the men spoke of 13th Century Persian Poet Rumi’s oft-quoted passage:
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase ‘each other’
doesn’t make any sense.”
Sweet again. We need these places, don’t we. Where we dissolve and discover.
At the end of the call, I shared an important principle that helps brings me, brings people, to the deep inner work — I’m calling my series that does this, Becoming & Belonging. “Not only to we live life, but life lives us. Not only to we look for clues, but clues look for us.”
Join an upcoming Flow Group in February or March? For the sweetness in the field.
