Organic Process

Winter is in the process of ending and Spring is looming before us. Trees whose leaves went reddish yellowish brownish purple in April and then fell in June will begin to bud and bloom again in September so that by December they will be a brilliant green.

When we isolate principles of structure – like we do when learning music or dance or programming software – the series of lessons in natural order and organic forces – like the observation of trees in the cycles of life – provide us with the greatest of holographs.

New forms emerge from the disintegration of the old. Moss growing on dead tree trunks and seedlings sprout through dead leaves. Forests hold an organic order through growth, maturation and decay processes. We don’t hold onto the old leaves and attempt to glue them back onto the trees. We appreciate their life cycle.

Yet we beat ourselves up by being in one cycle or another.
“I need to move forward.”
“It will be ok when I get there.”
“Now I have updated my model and have improved life is better.”

mmmm.............

Wherever we are and whatever pattern/story/trait/value/belief we own forms part of our life cycle. There are times when things come together and times when things fall apart. This is the organic process of nature. Yet we hold on to one side because we don’t want things to fall apart. We negate our masculine or feminine OR our predator or prey - (keep going there are endless metaphors here) as we try to fit into someone ELSE’s cycle and paradigm – thinking it is better than ours.

WHY?

How can you answer this question? How can you possibly deduce the billion structures weaving and playing out together to create this end result?

When we appreciate the seasons of us as reflected back to us by the hologram of nature, we learn how to hold tension and from this point we learn how to create while sitting in this tension of seasons and cycles. In other words, knowing that we will feel every emotion in the spectrum, every thought in the cosmic unconscious and every sensation in our body without wanting to justify it, explain it, understand it, logic it or change and avoid it, is the ability to hold the tension of the both sides of life. Robert Fritz calls this Structural Tension and from this appreciation vantage point we assimilate and create.

So perhaps instead of telling our stories of how we are one side or the other, we can merely say to ourselves “Ah this is how I am at this moment. I am also the opposite – and can think, feel and sense that too. There is no why, this is simply one of the many HOWS I will experience in my life”

Someone once said “there is nothing to change but much to love.”
