Sandbox From the Sandbox From the Sandbox: Paradoxical Emergence

From the Sandbox: Paradoxical Emergence

July 15th, 2010 by Katrin Winiarski

Every day, our community manager Katrin Winiarski, reads through her feed of all Sandboxers’ blog posts. Every Thursday, she chooses the most inspiring, funny or brilliant one and reposts it on this blog. This post has been written by Sandboxer Edward Harran. This is only a shortened version, the original version can be found here.

After having a series of amazing, deeply heartfelt conversations today, I feel like writing spontaneously. Free flow. Some call it intuitive writing. I – with my eccentric tendency to create my own semantics for just about everything – have entitled it a  ’Jack Kerouac-Dharma-Bum-prose’.

I want less, so I can do more.

I want order, so I can embrace chaos.

I want to value me, so I can value others.

I want to stand up for myself, so I can stand up for the world.

I want to listen to my truth, so I can speak it.

I want to be where I am, so I can explore and wander later.

I want to go slow, so I find flow faster.

I want to take action, so I have a strong platform for life-kindergarten.

I want ‘money’ ( well, let me phrase, I want the modern day economic value-exchange currency) , so I have space in the future to freely share it.

I want to master my energy, so I can use energy for others.

I want to make myself everything, so I understand that its nothing.

—————————————————–

I want to dig deep so I can find the seeds within.

I want my (#)gear, so I can start really riding my bike.

I want to understand what drives me, so I can fuel my engine with the right petrol.

I want to, not only see the jig-saw, but start putting the pieces together.

I want to be the captain of my ship, so I can stir it into the right ports.

I want to master the art of surfing, so I can start riding the waves.

—————————————————–

In valuing me, I value the world.

In valuing my solitude, I deepen my love of people.

In banishing duality, I live the whole.

In trusting the lessons, I find the teachers.

In being awesome, I create awesome.

In feeling rhythm, I live the flow of it.

In continually embracing paradox, I emerge.
