Asking is Opening

For me, exploring a topic that calls cannot be solely an intellectual pursuit.
A topic teases me, sometimes stimulated by outside occurrences and sometimes by emotion or internal commotion.

It is as if a teacher opens the lesson plan for the day and says, here, tell me how this works, explain what this means, predict the outcome of this scenario. I am sometimes given several days to work out what might have taken years without the teacher prompts.
The prompt I am given today is, “Asking is opening”.

I am exploring what it feels like to ask, more specifically, what it feels like to ask from my heart, from myself, from me, for what I want.
Asking is not a demand, nor a mental plea.

Asking is opening. It is more than emptying.

i close my eyes, my heart teases open, and I gently wait to know what I want.

The want is part of a whole. This is important, the want is part of a whole.

i need to sit with this one for a while longer.
Something that I think I know always seems to have more to offer.
