May 17th Active Solitude: Escape from Planet Me

Where and When You Go

Today we reviewed the idea of Planet Me as a dislocation and as a map of escape.

We reviewed the writing we did last week, and I asked folks to consider the following questions:

Did you notice anything "past-ish" or future-ish about the way you respond to someone sharing an experience?

Sense impressions, taste, smell... Do you notice you tend to go to the past to try and connect it with a memory? Or to see it as a warning or omen about the future?

When you arrive somewhere, how do you go about settling in? Proust, 007, or someone else?

Long lost friend - did you want to ask "remember this?" or "what is going to happen next?" or "how ARE you?"

Then we copied a marvellous Dickinson poem, did a little breath work, and we were wrapped.

Tune in next week as we look at building Home Base.
