Here it is! The mother of ALL resources... TIME! Think about it. We have a great idea or a great recipe, we have a variety of tasks and talents, we have a desire to grow and change. So, what keeps us from actualizing that idea, creating that mind-blowingly delicious meal, completing each task, cultivating and sharing each talent, growing into the human we envision ourselves to be? Well now, there's that sneaky little bugaboo called TIME. We never seem to have enough; we're not efficient; we're not skilled at carving it out for ourselves; we're overwhelmed. All this is absolutely true... until you realize that TIME is nothing more than a social construct. Why is today Friday? 12:26 P.M. on this particular Friday in May for that matter? TIME helps us place ourselves within our world; it helps frame our existence. It is merely a tool. So, what if we used that tool differently? How could we wield it to better build our capacity to utilize all the other resources we've considered in each of the previous nine blogs? I'll leave that to you to contemplate... along with this quote from T. S. Eliot: "It is only in the world of objects that we have time and space and selves."
Hmmm...

How do we describe space? Infinite, beautiful, ethereal, other-worldly. But, how do we interact with space when we consider it an entity we exist in?  We say things like -- occupy space, conquer space, move through space, make space, leave space, design space, take up space, create space. Each of these phrases sounds as if we are trying to manipulate it or ourselves to exert some kind of control over it. What would happen if we tried to stay in the description itself? At Meaningful Trainings we work with individuals to explore the space beyond human-imposed constraints. Rolling around in the infinite, connecting with the beautiful no matter where one finds oneself -- drowning in life's myriad obligations or letting go at life's end -- allows us to remember that the ethereal and other-worldly exists within each of us. This opens up a space in which ANYTHING is truly possible.
