Clarifying questions can be powerful ways to get to the “thing under the thing”. Whatever “thing” I find myself wanting after- tangible of ephemeral- there’s something under it, a way I want to feel.

When I can get to that, there’s more clarity around how to proceed. Often times I’ll see that the felt sense I’m looking for doesn’t really need to come from the thing, but is available independently or from multiple sources. It’s actually available now.

Seeing that takes the pressure off “getting” the thing and a sense of freedom and play moves into the process. Creativity flows, I see doors that are open rather than the ones that are closed. It’s one frelection of the Freedom that we’re looking for. Not Freedom itself- but a signpost along the path.
