Chance...

Picture_8

The cat(s) were indifferent to the rabbit when it took a chance...

... and, jumped with all it's might into the water of the pool.

I found their tasty little dinner, shivering like a branch...

... and plucked it from certain peril with a net, my trusty tool.

The towel I lent to dry it was sitting all askew...

... and, as the rabbit hopped away smiling, I knew that it knew.

Expectations...

Picture_1

Like the depth of this pool is an optical illusion that shifts "reality", expectations shift our vision relative to harmonious relationships with others.

When we "expect" someone else to "do this", or "be that way" we limit our ability to celebrate "who" they really are.

Envision...

Picture_21

Our heart and mind can often be conflicted. 

Situations, and other people's agendas can add pressures that make our lives a patch work of indistinguishable images. 

We can only truly build the futures we want if we separate ourselves from those pressures and slow down to visualize the future that we, individually want for ourselves.

Only from here can we hope to connect with others to form a collective.

Focus...

Picture_19

Situations and circumstances, as we perceive them, shape our thinking and interactions with others.

And, sometimes we loose our abilities to distinguish what is essential. 

When we do things become "blurry".

To move forward we must; get a new perspective, re-calibrate, simplify and refocus.

Hanging Out...

Sometimes it's better to just hang out and wait for things to align themselves.

These Bordeaux vines recently survived a loving transplant surgery into their permanent home and have some produced some grape clusters, a sign that they are happy.

Wine making is another project, that, for a number of reasons is hanging out.

Do you have projects hanging out until the time when the right alignment of conditions can forward things effectively ?

If not, give this practice a try and see how much additional capacity gets freed up to increase velocity in other areas.
