Discernment – Awakening #1
This is at the request of Jenny Meadows – the most extraordinary editor, with whom I am in the final phase of edits/re-writes of a book about lifeshocks and the Clearing/Clarity Process.
Scene: the airport at Nadi, Fiji, sitting with a woman who happens to be very powerful, a leader in her country. We started talking about change – a dialogue. Somewhere along the way, I failed to discern the moment it turned into a monologue on my part. I only realized it after she beat a hasty retreat into the duty free shopping. And that’s the way lifeshocks work.
I didn’t notice the subtle lifeshocks when her eyes began to glaze over and/or scout for an escape route. I was so intent on convicting her about the importance of lifeshocks, I failed to notice them … until it was too late, and dialogue was no longer an option.
I finally got the less-than-subtle lifeshock when she looked at her watch very intently and said, “Oops, gotta go do some retail therapy.” Only then did I snap awake, realizing that, for the last little bit, only my voice was in the airways. (Time goes by so fast when it’s My voice!)
My new commitment is to be more awake about the constant feedback (lifeshocks/wake-ups/non-verbal signals) from the people with whom I am dialoguing. I want to have dialogue. And usually, I do. Yesterday, in that instance, I didn’t. Today, we’ll see how well I do. It may be more of an issue than I think it is. For sure it’s more of an issue than I want – ever! Now my attention is on it in a different, more purposeful and awake way.
Discernment in action.
Oh my dear Ann,
Thank you for these words this morning! I have been taking a good look at the ‘whisper’ life shocks, and waking up to my humanity when boundaries are being considered for myself and others in my path.
I miss you! xo
