James Hollis, in “The Middle Passage”, says
The invitation is to shift gears for the next part of the journey, to move from outer acquisition to inner development
and
…it is this emphasis on inner, rather than outer truth, that distinguishes the second adulthood from the first.
Whilst I think these developmental shifts are a perpetual presence in our lives, there is no doubt that we are more aware of the transition phases at some times than we are at others, and this is where I am now, at the end of 2013, in one of those transitions. So, I’m enjoying shifting gears, and throwing myself more fully into the process of becoming.
Are you ready to accept the invitation to change gears? I wonder what inner truths we’ll discover?
Synchronicity – Hmm! Have been feeling strange over the past 3 weeks- almost empty and adrift. Maybe I need refueling and restarting? With what and how? Maybe if I engage first gear and run an automatic writing in the journal and wait to see what develops next?
