In a world of extremes, the greatest gift we have is what we choose to pay attention to

All these moments shape who we are and how we bring complexity into the system is the reflective part, is our capacity not just to reflect on the most intense things that happened in our day, and give them the story and the voice.

Because there’s a lot of intense things happening in the world right now and if we just give them the voice, then that’s going to really dysregulate the system.

You are responsible for knowing when your body feels, it’s too much, overwhelmed, and you need to figure out how you take care of your body then.

You’re responsible for reflecting on the moments in your day that are way below threshold, that may even be ordinary, boring, neutral things, almost go unnoticed and noticing them and their value, because they are where you live most of the time.

For everybody in the room currently you’re in a safe environment, and it’s very important to sit into that energy for the rest of the world that isn’t.

So there’s something about grounding yourself in the sense of your own environment and where you are and noticing what is okay, easeful, comfortable.

Because that’s not easy in a world where we’ve been bombarded with the absolute extremes

The most valuable part of being human and the greatest gift we have is what we choose to pay attention to.

And actually when you break love down, love is about paying attention.

So if you’re going to love the world, then if you break that down practically, it’s okay, what am I paying attention to and is it expanding?

As an artist, your job is to really be in the center, find a way of paying attention and valuing the ordinary and the everyday and through that, begin to create.
Because your job is the human condition.
