The Quiet Pull
Midyear Pause: Day 6
We spend a lot of time asking what we should do.
Sometimes a better question is: What is quietly calling me?
Carl Jung called it “following the libido,” the invisible something, the intangible energy that is drawing your spirit forward.
What’s tugging at your heartstrings and calling you forward right now?
Please share what is calling to you at this moment. Speaking it aloud can sometimes help us hear it more clearly.
Paulette, I’m enjoying these Midyear Pause reflection questions. One thing that is becoming clear to me is that I can do what I do just for myself. I’m not harming others by finding my authentic voice and giving that the respect it deserves.
I'm getting a divorce, and it's awful and wonderful. Awful to have been lied to and betrayed, and sad that our connection broke so quietly so long ago that neither of us wanted to admit it. Wonderful that I’m moving on to the next chapter. I feel free! And my wife and I are watching the compass needle spin as we navigate this process as friends. Humans are such odd creatures - we can hold so many conflicting feelings at once and they can all be true.
Thank you, Paulette, to help silence the din my narration makes. Grateful to listen and learn, and eventually understand whatever I need to.
