To Revisit and Transform

"Self-regarding intensity"

"It's that singular drive to revisit and transform, to keep seeing freshly and more deeply, that runs like a river...of forward-flowing energy, constantly pressing on, ceaselessly learning and innovating, discarding and reappropriating, looking forward and backward...and feeling as fully..." as one can.Steven Winn
Such wonderful writing, not about therapy but struck me as beautifully describing the self-actualizing person, the one who is not satisfied with an unconscious life, the one who seeks, the one who wishes to discover-the world, yes, but, above all-themselves.  (For more on the self-actualizing person, read Abraham Maslow)

    Your blog is lovely... thankyou! The words you have written at the bottom of the page stike me as being so true....."Acknowledge yourself. By reading this blog, taking the time to think, and reflecting on yourself and the larger picture,---you have done something to take care of yourself.
    See if you feel more open, have more clarity, or feel more aliveness."
    I DO...
    I will be back to refresh myself again soon.
