Coming back from a lovely Art of Hosting at Tamagawa near Nanaimo. \u00a0Lots bubblig out of that one, and so here;s the first little harvest. \u00a0Our hosting team (the excellent David Stevenson, Colleen stevenson, Paula Beltgens, Diana Smith, Caitlin Frost, Nancy McPhee, Teresa Posakony and Tenneson Woolf) checked in together around this question: \u00a0 \u00a0What would it take to be ambushed by joy this weekend? \u00a0This question sprang from \u00a0a notion of joy as an operating principle; \u00a0What if noticing joy was a basic agreement about how we will work together?<\/p>\n
From that came this snippet of a poem that was made from some of the responses:<\/p>\n
From the grief of all alone, we build connection to the other
\nand from need,
\nsurprising forms become clear.
\nAs we spiral inwards, condemned to intimacy
\na joyful ambush of fear warms us
\nto each other giving us names into which we can live,
\nhosting a self that knows the myriad of ways
\njoy surprises.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coming back from a lovely Art of Hosting at Tamagawa near Nanaimo. \u00a0Lots bubblig out of that one, and so here;s the first little harvest. \u00a0Our hosting team (the excellent David Stevenson, Colleen stevenson, Paula Beltgens, Diana Smith, Caitlin Frost, Nancy McPhee, Teresa Posakony and Tenneson Woolf) checked in together around this question: \u00a0 \u00a0What would it take to be ambushed by joy this weekend? \u00a0This question sprang from \u00a0a notion of joy as an operating principle; \u00a0What if noticing joy was a basic agreement about how we will work together?
