“The ART OF LIVING is, in its essential meaning, a development and transformation of the power of inward choice. It is of all the creative arts the most difficult and the most distinguished.” (Wickes 1963)
To be invited into another person’s deeply personal terrain is humbling to me. Initially I cannot know where we will go or where we will end up. Over time we both become more familiar with the elements of their internal environment. This uncovering can be surprising at times. If we both become receptive to being surprised, to these moments of knowing and moments of not knowing, we may become more wise with less effort and more tender when wisdom is hard to find.
