We tend to divide our experience into two parts, which we usually name ‘good’ and ‘bad’. And we do so for good reason - to belong in our family systems and communities, to keep a particular image or identity going, because we are afraid of what and what we will be if we let love, or joy, or anger, or longing touch us. But the cost is high - in realness, in capacity to bringing our gifts to the world, in our fully taking up the possibilities of this one precious life. So how might we welcome and reinclude that which has been split off? And how might we do so in a way that is life-giving, mature, and responsive to our cares, concerns and commitments?

We spend so much energy trying to think our way to insight, yet a fuller understanding of our lives often arrives from somewhere beyond the usual way we know ourselves. When our hands are busy with ordinary tasks something vast can sometimes settle into awareness. What happens when we discover that our bodies know a kinship with the earth our minds may have forgotten? Could belonging be less about finding our place and more about recognising we never left it?
