Pete Seeger at 89 still sits and entertains with his stories and his music. What makes his performance different is the sage wisdom, stories and perspective. He has earned the place of "elder" and we are hungry to hear what he has to say. He delivers stories centered around his memories of his father that are timeless and have perfect lessons even in these times. He speaks slowly with intent and through his heart. He speaks of graditude and acknowlegdes those who have supported him on his journey. He speaks globally, sings globally and speaks of things that are uncomfortable.
My curiousity piques and I want to know more.
Why do we want to hear from those who have seen far more than we have?
Why are we monitoring their panic/peace thermostats?
Who are the Pete Seegers in organizations and do they know what their role is?
Do we recognize how CRITICAL it is that we slow down long enough to hear with our hearts.
You will hear this more than you want to on this blog. I am thrilled by the opportunities that are before us! I am listening more, asking more questions, calling BS more often and challenging my own feelings of fear.
The opposite of "giving up" is to fully engage.... and the challenge to me is to fully engage.... NO MATTER WHAT!
