What is our fascinating narrative?

Uncategorized / By Sue Heatherington

I’ve been around long enough to know that most of us have a core narrative. Our default self-talk. And like our fingerprint, this isn’t simple to change. Yet, perhaps we can cultivate a more positive tone rather than being trapped in its shadow side. One of mine is ‘if … then’, which leads to my …

Listening again to the still small voice

Uncategorized / By Sue Heatherington

When we are still, what do we hear? Like listening for the sea in a seashell, are there sounds that remind us of elsewhere? Or another time? Recently, I’ve watched several videos of conversations early in the pandemic. Encountering this new world, perspectives on life and relationships were shifting. People were listening at a deeper …

When you stop, what do you hear?

Uncategorized / By Sue Heatherington

When you stop, what do you hear? Is it the echoes of unfinished conversations,the insistence of a reply,the sadness of the moment,or things said that were better left unsaid? What about the call of the wind,the whisper of water,the wordless sound of a place,or the rumble of the Earth? And what about the comfort of …

Choosing to rest in the unknown

Uncategorized / By Sue Heatherington

We’ve been taught to fear the unknown – that it’s a scary place. Yet, in reality, we live here daily while wearing lenses that give us a false sense of control. And because of these ways of seeing, we assume we can live in a world of relative order, or at least minimal surprises at …

Different ways to look at questions

Uncategorized / By Sue Heatherington

When we ask significant questions, we implicitly recognise that there might be a different way of seeing. And an alternative view of what we think we see implies the possibility of change. OK, so far. But what about fractals? Maybe the big questions we might grapple with are patterns that replicate elsewhere and at a …

It takes imagination to ask questions

Uncategorized / By Sue Heatherington

Who asks questions? Most often, it’s the little ones. And the big little ones who haven’t bowed to the pressure to grow up and conform. Yet if we don’t ask questions, we don’t believe that we or the world could be different. And that takes imagination. ~ This week’s On Being Podcast with adrienne maree …

Creatively dancing with our questions

Uncategorized / By Sue Heatherington

Yesterday I gave myself to sit with my question. It didn’t last long because physical sitting was too static. So I walked. Down the lane to retrieve our emptied recycling sack after the village collection time. Then up the valley to wander in the woods and by the brook. Movement certainly helped – Solvitur ambulando …

Being ready to sit with the question

Uncategorized / By Sue Heatherington

Have you noticed? Often our significant questions invite us to sit with them for a while. Yet we’re in such a hurry. We’ve become conditioned to believe that questions need clear answers. Now. But how would we know we’re looking at it the wrong way round, upside down, or back to front? Indeed what if …

Standing back to see forward

Uncategorized / By Sue Heatherington

When we only see what is in front of our eyes, we fail to see the whole picture. Yes, it feels like a contradiction, but let’s think about it. What’s in front of us doesn’t take account of what’s in us. And more than that, it only allows us to perceive as far as our …
