WE’RE ALL JUST WALKING EACH OTHER HOME –
From my journal, in June 2023 after 3 days of design in Copenhagen:
In the past few days I’ve consciously pushed myself out of my comfort multiple times and tried to embrace the journey of personal growth. I found some beautiful words that inspired me in a medium article by Alan Seale. Maybe you find something for yourself in it:
“Certainly, we need time alone to know who we are, yet there are some things about ourselves that we can only learn in interaction with others.
It’s been my experience that the more committed I am to learning and growing and being the best that I can be, the more opportunities keep showing up to enter with intention and awareness that which I have avoided and run away from. I don’t have to go looking for these opportunities – they find me.
And so lately, I’m asking myself: What if the people I encounter in daily life are all, in their own way, walking me home? Probably very few of them have any conscious awareness of the roles they are playing in my life script. Yet what if they are just playing their part in helping me come home to who I really am?
In the same way, what if I’m walking them home? What if I’m playing a role in their homeward journey? What role might I choose to play for them? And how might I choose to be with them if I consider that, at least for the moment, we are walking our homeward journeys side by side?”
