“I am good at pushing things into either-or corners. A moment ago it was faith or rationality. Now, being or creating. I close my eyes and try to shift how I come at it. Both, I think, and start to imagine the hearth not only as a place of being but as one of creating. Why couldn’t it stand for tending the present moment and also for the fiery combustion of my work?”
from Traveling with Pomegranates
by Sue Monk Kidd and Ann Kidd Taylor
This musing from Sue Monk Kidd speaks to the process of moving from ‘either-or’ thinking about choices into ‘and’ thinking. Maybe things can be ‘and’! Maybe it’s not always ‘this or that’ but ‘this and that and maybe that, too.’ What can you do to expand from this option or that option into considering a bigger list, including this AND that?
