This post is actually about my current situation, a kind of status update, but first I want to share a story with everyone. Bear with me, please. It's a true story, and is very relevant to what I am going to say about my present situation.

For the past several nights there has been a spider outside our front door... a very large spider, with an even larger web. It apparently has found the light from the door attracts plentiful prey for it, and so has chosen to make its web there. It is a very large and intricate web, meant to draw to the spider what it needs... and it is very beautiful.

Each day, the door is opened and people go in and out... the spider's web, which is partially anchored to the door, is often damaged or even destroyed. But each night, without fail, the spider fixes or replaces the damaged web, and again pulls to itself the things it needs in its life. This is very much a kind of flow-work, and it demonstrates a crucial idea that I sometimes need to remind myself of... that we shape the flows, as well as riding them/picking paths through them.

What's my point? )
