Sunday Skype discussion

On Sunday we had a discussion that started with the stimulus of communication - we move to voice. Finding your voice in the different mediums you are using to communicate (like your writing voice). We talked about meaning and voice happening (or emerging) in the 'in-between' moments: the breaks between modules, the writing up of an observation, the moments needed to just digest something.

I suggest that these moments become 'in-between' to us because we are not expecting them to be of value. They are between (important activity, events,...) but what if we shift the value not from the things (activity, events...), but to the process then the between becomes the center of what we value. In-between becomes where we expect things to happen and... further in-between melts into nowness: no need for distinct points of importance but an on-going aliveness and response to the situation of now. (Using Dewey's use of the word 'situation')

What are your thoughts ...?
