 Editor’s note: Many cultures have greetings for seeing others in their fullness. In India, "Namaste" signifies "I see the light within you". Even in the face of unkind and divisive words or deeds, we must all attempt to see the light in others. After all, everyone is fighting a battle we may know nothing about so be kind always. Our stories this week emphasize the power of how we see each other. -Ameeta |

Mary Oliver on the Third Self
“Mary Oliver sets out to excavate the building blocks of the self in order to understand its parallel capacities for focused creative flow and merciless interruption. She identifies three primary selves that she inhabits, and that inhabit her, as they do all of us: the childhood self, which we spend our lives trying to weave into the continuity of our personal identity; the social self, “fettered to a thousand notions of obligation”; and a third self, a sort of otherworldly awareness.The first two selves, she argues, inhabit the ordinary world and are present in all people; the third is of a different order and comes most easily alive in artists — it is where the wellspring of creative energy resides.” And it is to the third self that the artist must remain true: “My loyalty is to the inner vision, whenever and howsoever it may arrive.” { read more }
Be The Change
Set aside some time, unplugged and uninterrupted, to nurture your third self and awaken your creativity. |
