I absolutely love watching this guy do his thing. It’s amazing, beautiful, brillaint and poetic. I wish I could do that… but I’m too much of a chicken to give it a try.
This video makes me wonder about passion. MacAskill devotes so much time and energy to this, his passion, and it shows. I wonder what is truly my passion… what it is that I devote the majority of my time and energy to? For some reason it’s not as clear cut as I would hope or expect. For the past several months my life has gone out of order. It has spiralled into a margin-less mess of doing to do and as a result I have missed out on the importance of being present, truly present with people.
So, I’m working on that… I’m working to put things back in order. Re-engage on rhythms that have been lost and set aside and abstaining from rhythms that have created this mess in the first place. I long for the re-order. I long for the margin. And I long to be truly present once again with people, giving them the very best that I have to offer… not my meager left-overs.
So, I’ve created a hashtag on twitter #lifeinorder for you to follow along on my journey or even to use for yourself if you find that your life has become tremendously out of order and long for the margin and space once again. I’m looking forward to this journey, to seeing and remembering what a life in order is about, and what possibilities can come from it.
