\nLook around at the people you know, and you\u2019ll quickly see how particular each person\u2019s response is to what life brings to them. You might say that each person has cultivated, over time, a particular \u2018flavour\u2019 for their engagement with life, or a particular \u2018way of being\u2019 in response to the world.
\n
\nAnd yet this \u2018flavour\u2019 is often all but invisible to us in our understanding of ourselves, falling into the background of habit and familiarity. How might we help one another awaken to the ways we\u2019re living, and support one another as we practice and experiment with wild new possibilities for ourselves?

\n
\nFighting the Wind
\n
\nThe trick is not to.
\nNot to struggle, thrusting
\nthe anvil of your
\n
\nbody against the
\ngale, not to compete, but to
\nsway and bend, threading
\n
\nthe edge of the air,
\nwelcoming dishevelment.
\nWho is in charge of
\n
\ncorralling the squall
\ninto meager breezes, these
\nair conditioned spaces?
\n
\nWho is bold enough
\nto slam open the windows
\nlet the shouting in?
\n
\nYou want to be brave.
\nBut you yearn also to curl
\nbeneath the blanket
\n
\nof wind, a small fold,
\nyour breath a small sigh beneath
\nthe world\u2019s loud exhale
\n
\nand also
\nto be the window
\nit shoves into and through, a
\nportal for the sky.
\n
\nThe wind reminds you
\nof what you can be, tousled
\ndismantled,
\na being
\n
\nthat can continually
\nbe remade.
