Playing music rather than talking about it<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m coming back from Hahopa with simplicity ringing in my ears. \u00a0I think the mantra is “put something in your hands.”<\/p>\n

At Hahopa we cooked together, wove cedar together, trained with swords together, played lahal and sang songs. \u00a0We DID a lot. \u00a0And in our doing we could reflect on our being. \u00a0And from our being we can create a view of what else we might do.<\/p>\n

I spend a lot of time helping people plan things. \u00a0But I am noticing that people want plans that promise a great future, but are afriad to start doing things. \u00a0Heading into a set of meetings this week with some Chruches here in BC, I think I’m curious mto ask “What do you want to be doing that you aren’t doing now?” \u00a0And by this question I don’t mean “What do you want other people to do?” \u00a0I mean, what are you willing to start now that would help us become something that we wanted to become. \u00a0Let’s do more of that and THEN we can see what we have learned.<\/p>\n

Visioning and creating a common purpose is cool but it often assumes that we know what the future will hold or that we can guess what will be useful. \u00a0We need to be more adaptable. \u00a0We need to look at what is stopping us from DOING the things we want to do, and focusing on removing the barriers to that, whether those are resources or fears or time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
