What Do You Plan to Do?

There is a stunning line spoken by Katharine Hepburn in the movie The
Mad Woman of Chaillot. About half-way through the film, her character
is asked, ‘What do you plan to do?’ Katharine replied, ‘Don't
anticipate the past.’
I remember my jaw dropped when I first heard that line! As an exercise,
let's say it's another way of thinking, Live in the moment. I've
just made up this list of helps which may add to our Live in the moment
empathic futures together.
Maintain a circle of truly right-brained creatives (like me) around
you; intend an openness to the intuitive.
Keep all options open, and loosely defined; we will get lost if we
intend keeping our patterns of success and exaggerated egos in tact.
Do not allow yourself to feel rushed by desensitized advertising that
demands action now.
Pay close attention to and become curious about everything in corporate
advertisements like the spoken words, the written words, and symbolism
within their designs.
When sensing nudges, remain quiet, focusing for only a second on your physical
heart. That’s all you need. If you wish, don’t hesitate to ask
yourself, ‘What?,’ as if you want more information or guidance.
Ask advice from those with whom mutual respect is apparent.
What do you plan to do? Let's intend to notice intuited discernments, making lots of room for
revealed possibilities and expected "Surprise!" moments. Interpretations
we give our manifestations are ways we show ourselves to ourselves and
ourselves to each other.
It's all about expressing
empathy and nurture.
Our constant curiosity
is key
to watching what’s being created.
