my voice, words borrowed from jad abumrad, creator of radiolab

on the terrors + occasional virtues of not knowing what you’re doing 

found on jarrettfuller ’s [thoughtful] blog

milton erickson, the great psychologist, had this idea that you can reframe anything. you can take the worst feeling in the world and “reframe” it so that that terrible feeling becomes its own solution.

and i think about moments like that now, and i think, i can either run from that feeling, we as a community can either run from that feeling, or we can run TO that feeling. we can treat that feeling as an arrow that we need to follow.

like, OK, i’m about to vomit, my stomach is about to leap out of my mouth…but maybe that just means i’m on the right track. maybe that just means i’m doing my job.
