Thoughts as I begin Module 2
My intention is to be more present each day. Taking each day at a time, setting intentions for the weeks, one task at a time and remembering each segment has a place in the whole picture.
My motivation to do this work feels like it needs to be more than my simply wanting to do it. I seem to need to remember the impact I hope my inquiry will have on the wider community.
As I begin now to explore my area of interest in relation to trauma and dance and come to more of a focused and grounded question, I remember that I am doing this with the hope that it will shed light on an area which I hope will in some way have an impact beyond myself. This ties in to ethical considerations which will be an important focus for this module.
Developing greater authority in my own voice and in my use of theoretical structures is a key aim for the next few months. Yet I admit I feel unsure of how I can develop this at times? Insecurity seems to be somewhat embedded in my personality, so when I write authoritatively I feel dishonest. Can anyone else relate to this?
Some freewriting as I begin this process
Structure
Form
Beneath the surface of things we find a truth
A truth we perceive
Explore that truth
Focus on shedding light not answering questions
Be passionate and curious
Ride the waves of existence
Listen to the silence
Let it speak
Lessen the grip
Open the mind
Have courage to face the unknown
Cross the bridge not to find the answers but to find even more questions
It was special to connect with the MAPP community today and to hear their voices. To feel part of an interconnected whole and realise that we face many of the same challenges to do with scheduling and time management. But I remember that we are stronger together and thank the MAPP community for being such a great and honest team of people.
