The Pull

the practice

Inspiration — the practice →

The pull that is smarter than the plan.

what it is

What is exciting you right now, underneath the noise?

its phraseYour excitement is not a distraction. It is the instruction.
where it sitsThe in-breath of the mind — where excitement precedes effort

the pair

Invention. The pull that begins and the room where two things meet. Utsaha follows what lights up — it enters the field before knowing what it will find. Yukti combines what the following has gathered — it makes the new thing by introducing what the pull collected. The energy that pulls in Inspiration becomes the intelligence that assembles in Invention. Both move toward rather than away — one toward the source, one toward the creation.

the reflection

I named the pull. And now the pull feels slightly more mine — not because it wasn’t mine before, but because I acknowledged it instead of managing it.

A pull you acknowledge is a resource. A pull you manage is a drain. I’ve been spending energy on the management.

There’s a different relationship available.
