Today on a Sensory Awareness call with Misty Hannah, she worked on being with not knowing, with stepping into the unknown and letting the unknown surprise us.  What happens when we peel a spring onion?  What responds inside?  Outside?  Together?  Apart?

She requested we not name what we noticed.  I listened to the rain on the roof, trees, and outside walls without naming it, and felt an answering response within – fluidity – waves – connection.

Later, Michael Atkinson pointed out that medieval maps had an area called Terra Incognita, Unknown Territory, marked, at times, with “There be dragons here!” or “Here are dragons.”

What happens when we allow entry into unknown territory?  Are dragons enlivening this Chinese Year of the Dragon?  What are we exploring and what explores within us? How do I meet what comes?

Yesterday I stepped out of my car into a puddle.  It was an experience of awakening – dry, wet, warm, cold – Awake!
