The Sunday Morning Church of ATTENTION
I am a verb.
Verbs change.
It’s tough to change a noun.
A noun could be another name for fixed attention.
“Who are you?” Someone asks.
“I am a writer, a speaker, a carpenter, a bowler, a husband, a cook, a dancer. “ But I am all that and more.
I am a verb.
An action without the need to be added too, as with ‘very’, really,’ obviously’, actually, or labeled as ‘good, ‘bad, ‘fast, or slow.
My verb stands on its own.
Just I am.
My criteria as a verb are only being present, here and now.
Being a verb does not imply I am a human doer.
Being a verb, I can and will still be a human being, without always doing.
I am flexible with the great pleasures and challenges, of doing nothing.
Not thinking, or fretting, no worry, wanting, just flowing.
Being a verb means I can change without the limits of a label.
LABEL FREEDOM has challenges in areas of the unknown.
Where chaos and confusion lead to I don’t know what I am doing, going or even being.
Labels protect us from the unknown, are footholds,, a safety net, and a too easy way to fix our attention.
“He’s a writer, speaker, a carpenter, a bowler, a husband, a cook, a dancer. “No I am a verb.”
LABEL FREEDOM opens the door into the room of questions.
What’s happening?
Why am I here?
Who am I?
Who R U?
