HOW TO GET UNSTUCK? - and how long will it take?
When you're stuck in quicksand, it's important not to flail around. You can't struggle desperately. If you do, you die.
But where am I? Is this quicksand? I don't have a sense of getting buried deeper and deeper, just of not getting unstuck.
Or actually I do feel less stuck than I used to - maybe a few fingers are out of the mud. But I don't have the sense that there's anything I can hold onto, anything I can use to pull myself onto dry land.
****
Just what am I talking about?
Such a common thing. I don't know how to get to where I know I should be. If I were driving I could try mapquest or, better yet, google maps.
All my life I've had the sense of not having maps. Sometimes the path was laid out for me. Grade One. Grade Two. Grade Three.
But after university, I was lost. At sea. Stuck in the middle of what seemed an ocean - no dry land in sight, no boat, no life raft.
Sure, I found work.
And slowly I did somehow get further and further.
I am a doer. By now I have a PhD in stuff that I found fascinating to study - the impact of identity development, including a dangerous middle stage - love, pride and rage. I've done loads of teaching - I found that path.
I also have masses of spoken word and poetry found daily on the web.
But that isn't where I should be.
****
I just went for a walk. Sunset. Miles of countryside. As I walked, I kept getting an image in my mind: Adam holding his hand out and God reaching back, intent to let aliveness pass to Adam. Michelangelo's very famous image.
I'm no Adam, reclining, my hand languidly held out. And around me I haven't met anyone like Adam's God - passing the spark of life. I have my own spark of life, actually.
And now the image changes - trying to climb out of a mine shaft. Not very deep, but muddy walls, and steep. No instant answer.
