Walking the Unmarked Country

10 · 15 min4 steps

Before you begin

For seasons between an ending and a beginning. Sit somewhere plain and undecorated if you can.

The practice, step by step — read it all first if you like

  1. Admit the between

    Say plainly: I am between. Not on the old shore, not yet on the new one.

    about 90 seconds

  2. Put down the map-demand

    Notice the urge to know how this ends. Set it down for the length of this practice.

    about 120 seconds

  3. Travel light

    Ask: what is essential for the crossing — and what have I been carrying that is not?

    about 180 seconds

  4. One essential

    Choose the one essential thing to do today. Let the storyline wait.

    about 90 seconds
