Hello,
I fancied a little change this week…
Whenever I talk about Enchantment, the questions I get asked most often are: But where on earth can I find this enchantment you speak of when I live in a city/work full time/am already completely overloaded with other things to do? I’m not sure I’m capable of such a thing, anyway.
I paraphrase, but you get the gist. There is this sense in all of us that our own lives are not set up to be rich and fulfilling. They are too tightly wound for that, too mundane. The places we live are too ordinary. We have too many responsibilities. More than that, we have lost faith in our ability to pay attention. We are convinced that we have undertaken some kind of terrible deal with the devil, forever fating us to flit rather than land.
I don’t believe any of that. But if you do, I’d like to invite you to give this exercise a go.
