The two biggest projects of my working year have both fizzled out like damp fireworks this month and yet I’m fine…more than fine. Both of these work-related things were big news, if you’d asked me a couple of months ago yet both, for no fault of mine, came to naught. When one fizzled out it was “oh” but now two – its almost funny.

I find myself surprised at my own nonchalance and also amused at what this says about how I have evolved as a soul in human form this last year or so. What once might have defined me now only makes me feel all the more curious, more alert, more excited. I find myself wondering “what does the universe have in store for me now” and am simply prepared to wait and see.

In the meantime, I am enjoying the void – really enjoying it; what I have achieved in just a few weeks of pulling back and recalibration within that void of all potential is immeasurable, both on a practical and deeply personal level. Part of me was holding out to share this post after a meeting I have set up that could turn into my next best opportunity…but that was to miss the point entirely. No longer defined by what is happening to me, I feel much stronger resonance with the focal point of just being rather than doing and the fact that I feel so very comfortable there. Like a universe in the moment before the birth of another star (just as two more recently extinguish in the void) I am poised without waiting, without defining, without…anything. From that space, unexpected newness is already birthing and I look forward to helping it into form at a pace that feels just right to me. I am feeling so ridiculously joyful, optimistic, excited without apparent reason and, well, its so hard to put it into words…

As Matt Kahn would say, “Whatever arises, love that”.
