Acting Without the Drama

October 26, 2009. My business partner and her roommate are planning on moving to Ventura. There are a whole host of reasons for doing it, and a bunch of other reasons for not doing it.

And, the process is taking a while. Things are kind of in limbo. It seems most likely that everything will work out and they will move. But they might not.

We have a deal that has contracts signed and we’re now waiting for the checks to come in. We have no idea when that will happen. It seems most likely that the money will come in before Thanksgiving. But it might not.

We have projects that we want to shoot. Once the money has come in, it seems most likely that we will be able to do so. But we may not.

Those are just three examples out of what feels like a lot more of things that are unclear. And for every one of those unclear futures, there is a whole group of inner kids that are waiting to be picked up.

This time of extended waiting has allowed my business partner and me to further connect and find gentler ways of working together. This time has helped me to connect more deeply with my family. This time has helped me integrate some hurt and fractured parts of myself. All of those things are wonderful.

So, here’s to unclear futures. I may be hoping for things to become clearer soon, but for now, I’m getting a lot of use out of the mist on the horizon.
