Beyond The Land of the Right, the Land of the Wrong: The Wednesday 1-2-3
|
Hey Reader, In the middle of reading Rumi's wonderful poem, “A Great Wagon,” there's a stanza that stuck out to me as deeply familiar: Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn’t make any sense.
I read it again. And then again. I knew these words. And then it struck me – it sounded an awful lot like a verse from one of my favorite songs! Beyond the land of the right, the land of the wrong
There's a field waiting for us.
All the notions of you, the notions of me –
We finally agree don't mean a thing.
You can imagine how excited I was to stumble upon this connection. And so this week, I wanted to share the song “One” by Birdtalker. If you’ve never heard it before, enjoy. If you’ve heard it before (probably because I recommend it every chance I get), I hope you find some time this week to enjoy it again. ❓ Questions

Hey Reader, This month, I'm taking a pause from writing a new issue of The Wednesday 1-2-3 each week and instead sending out some of my favorites from the past two years. Hope you enjoy! In 1955, psychologists Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham developed a framework for mapping our awareness and self-awareness called the Johari Window. Here’s how it works: (And a quick note: when I first learned this framework, I found myself labeling qualities in different quadrants as good/bad. If you notice...
Hey Reader, After almost two years of writing a new issue of The Wednesday 1-2-3 every week, I'm taking a short pause this month! With the October Inner Work Cohort starting up and our family now in school-mode for both our kiddos, this seemed like a good time to temporarily remove something from my plate – but that doesn't mean you won't still get something from me. 🙂 Over the next five weeks, I'll be sending out some of my favorite issues from the past two years. (And the good thing is,...
Hey Reader, A little while ago, I sent out a poll and you marked that building a daily practice felt vital to you in this season of life. (Which, especially in the midst of our current election, I really resonate with.) If that’s still true for you, I hope you’re considering joining our upcoming cohort. 🙂 No pressure if it doesn’t feel quite right, but I wanted to make one last invitation. More information on the price and whatnots are at the bottom! Here's our prompt for the week: A little...
