This did give me food for thought. Do we see what we know or what we think we know? Does it stop us seeing the whole picture? Does seeing ‘what we know’ close us off to looking from taking a different perspective?
Good questions Emma. Some people we have a deep connection with, may be seen by others for their appearance, but we know there is more to them than only that.
As you say, perhaps what we think we know hides more facets that needs exploring.
This reminds me of a strategy I teach to calm anxiety and get out of overwhelm. When we are stressed, upset, etc. ask yourself “What’s everything I’m not noticing that’s NOT that? “. Sit with it, play with it. I didn’t get it at first but it really works.
Is it by accident that this is the 2nd article that mentions ‘namaste’ today?
Namaste is common Indian greeting with profound meaning, except in most Indian cities you hardly hear it; eroded by western influences. Thank you for bringing it back in my attention
