Well, this has been a long time coming. I'd thought about doing an art exhibition called "Beyond It" back in 2014 after a tumultuous and tricky time working in Cambodia. Had loads of ideas but as it turned out, I was too beyond it to do much about them. The concept has stayed with me though and now I'm back in the UK it feels like a good time to revisit it. And do summat with it.
This blog, then, is a space for articulating ideas and thoughts, old and new. So it's as much for me as for anyone reading it. In fact, probably more for my benefit than anyone else's. I just want to write and get used to getting stuff out there. So bear with. I've not got a clear idea how this will go.
I guess the over-riding theme is of being at a point of beyond-it-ness and wondering "how then shall I live?" It's not a beyond-it-ness in an exhausted or done-in way. I've been in that place before and wouldn't be writing this if I was. It's more about seeing a wide open space ahead and just thinking "Heck!" and "Wahooooo!" "Where to now?"

So the falling woman bit is really about giving in to the space. And falling into it. Learning a whole new dance. Feeling for the rhythm. Shaking off the old to free up the new. Realising what used to
work doesn't work anymore. And steps I've known before just trip me up
now. Listening deeply to
the still small voice. And falling into a greater Love. Because where else is
there to go?
