Day 24: The Sacrifice of The Humble Potato
Try this for yourself – get a big fat raw potato and a plastic straw. Now IMAGINE the straw through the potato – not so much the process of putting the straw through the potato but the fact that it is already there. Keep imagining this and take the obvious action to make this into a reality. Could you do it? If not what did you experience while you were trying and afterwards? Observe your thoughts and now REIMAGINE the straw through the potato. You may need to go around a few times to work your imagination muscle but it is possible to do this. The learning on the way will show you how you approach creating the things you love in your life. Do you just fantasise and not actually go for them? Do you get angry and give you, do you get determined and try harder? Remember this is an exercise in IMAGINING the end result has already happened and keep imagining it until you have take the action to make that happen. There are no other tricks to this.
100 Days of Awe is a playful project I set up to bring my attention to awe in my daily life. I see awe as wonder, a mixture of amazement and respect. I expect the experience of awe to be about perception shifting awareness and that demands a reframing of some sort. I am excited to see what will awe me on this journey.
