[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 663827, member: 17461"] This is interesting, Copa. I have learned integrity of relationship in the world through my interactions, and particularly through my professional interactions, too. [I]In my professional interactions, I expected my self to be better than myself. [/I] [I]And like you Copa, and like you Serenity in your professional persona, I was. I did. I am.[/I] [I]But in trustworthiness of ourselves, Copa and Serenity, we are coming face to face with the selves our mothers needed us to be.[/I] [I]Professionally, we were trained to meet expectations of another kind altogether.[/I] [I]And that is why, professionally, we find integrity in us, and strength and certainty and joy that is lacking in our personhood.[/I] Read again Copa, your last paragraph. We have not taken ourselves seriously. We have only known ourselves through our mothers' eyes. Pain, isolation, sense of purpose ~ these things we experience on our own. [I]Unless we close our eyes.[/I] And that is the nature of the betrayal. *** Here is a quote: "[I]I play the song to which you must dance. To you is left the freedom of improvisation. This improvisation is what you call free will.[/I] This is from The Jesus Incident. I will find the exact quote and reference it for you correctly. This is the symphony we are engaged in, this music we make of our lives through our interpretations, through the meaning we believe ourselves to have found; meaning found through which tones resonate for us. That is what we are attending to, here. Tones of meaning. Classical music ~ think of that. Think of where we find that sense of recognition and the possibility of other interpretations. What we do here can be likened to broadening our senses of possibility. It was always there. A thousand tones, a tapestry of color and sound. Cedar [/QUOTE]
