In
this situation, you are the linchpin, the bridge between multiple worlds. What
does each world require? What does each have to dispense? And what is the best
balance for all worlds?
Remember,
you are not the supplier of the energy. You are the conductor.
Question - do you wish to straddle multiple worlds?
Maintain
your energy, your boundaries, your truth.
*************************************************************************
Ha. There are so many ways this applied today.
Let's just look at the physical world- in my neighborhood, a spring storm is covering the land... that's a bridge between the two worlds of wonderful winter and glorious summer. (yes, one of those words was sarcastic.)
Next, let's look at a specific point in the day - I belong to a writers group. It was started many years ago by a friend & colleague. Over time, I became the one to keep it going. Now it is morphing again. We want it to be a group which feeds our needs as writers, which means consistency and growth. And also requires a definite facilitator. A conductor. A straddler of worlds. Did I want the job?
Heck no! I love writing. And I love the group because it keeps me motivated to write. But I have so many other things I love ... I want to flit in and out. So no conductorship for me, thank you very much. Besides, the gentleman who will be the facilitator is obviously the best choice for it. He already has so many ideas, if I weren't a group member, I'd want to be.
So we move onto the day in the life of Lila - where I most definitely AM the conductor. I have multiple skills and, multiple audiences (reader, client, actual listening audience). As well as being the energy producer, I need to be outside the picture to ensure the flow of energy from worker to production is equal and necessary. Which aspects need to be done at a certain time? Do I really need to schedule 3 hours to browse the bookstore? Have I taken a lunch break yet?
The most exciting thing about today was how the answers varied for each situation. If there even was a question (in the case of the weather.) How there was a yes in one area of world straddling, but a no in the other.
And also a bittersweet no - when it came to deciding if I wanted to add more singing. I mean, oh yes I do! But, I want to keep all the worlds and skills I'm currently committed to, so I just don't have the energy to add another.
Yet.
There's always tomorrow. *G*.
I hope you have a great day!
