Re: [Dialogue] An Artform about the YES to all of life
I Hope this poem will work for you…if not just enjoy. It was shared with me recently by one of my “Activist” Muslim friend: I sometimes forget that I was created for joy My mind is too busy My heart is too heavy Heavy for me to remember that I have been called to dance the sacred dance for life I was created to smile to love to be lifted up and lift others up O sacred one Untangle my feet from all that ensnares Free my soul That we might Dance and that our dancing might be contagious. Hafiz Hafiz (/ˈhɑːfɪz/; Arabic: حافظ, romanized: ḥāfiẓ, حُفَّاظ, pl. ḥuffāẓ, حافظة f. ḥāfiẓa), literally meaning "guardian" or "memorizer", depending on the context, is a term used by Muslims for someone who has completely memorized the Quran. Hafiza is the female equivalent.[1] Sent from my iPhone

I’m searching for an artform, which could be a poem, a song, or a very short video, that could be the starting point for a fairly quick discussion grounding the X of the Word -- YES to the past, the future, my life, all of life. (You will note that the current version of Courage to Lead talks about the YES to the past, future, my life, and all of life rather than using the phrases “the past is approved, the future is open, my life is received, life is good”. This is designed to get through the immediate reactions to the old language that was blocking people being able to ground the Word in their lives.) This artform should be tangential to the topic and allow a conversation that grounds it.
I’m guessing that you in this group will be a better resource than I have found so far. I don’t need just quotes – they don’t lead to much of a conversation. And even if you don’t know of any artforms for this, I’m hoping just raising the question will be helpful for your ruminations!
I’m updating and putting online an old ICA Associates Inc. facilitation course called “Participation Paradigm”. In this course we taught 4 chapters of Courage to Lead that correspond to the four sections of RS-1 images as well as the Contentless Method (the phenomenological method behind all ToP methods). We will study the four chapters, and I am working on artform conversations to ground the previous session and make the transitions to the next session.
This course, along with one updating our old Image Change course and several others will be offered online in the fall in addition to the ones we have been offering online so far.
Take care, Jo

Hi, all,
I’m searching for an artform, which could be a poem, a song, or a very short video, that could be the starting point for a fairly quick discussion grounding the X of the Word -- YES to the past, the future, my life, all of life. (You will note that the current version of Courage to Lead talks about the YES to the past, future, my life, and all of life rather than using the phrases “the past is approved, the future is open, my life is received, life is good”. This is designed to get through the immediate reactions to the old language that was blocking people being able to ground the Word in their lives.) This artform should be tangential to the topic and allow a conversation that grounds it.
I’m guessing that you in this group will be a better resource than I have found so far. I don’t need just quotes – they don’t lead to much of a conversation. And even if you don’t know of any artforms for this, I’m hoping just raising the question will be helpful for your ruminations!
I’m updating and putting online an old ICA Associates Inc. facilitation course called “Participation Paradigm”. In this course we taught 4 chapters of Courage to Lead that correspond to the four sections of RS-1 images as well as the Contentless Method (the phenomenological method behind all ToP methods). We will study the four chapters, and I am working on artform conversations to ground the previous session and make the transitions to the next session.
This course, along with one updating our old Image Change course and several others will be offered online in the fall in addition to the ones we have been offering online so far.
Take care, Jo

Xāwje Shams-od-Dīn Moḥammad Ḥāfeẓ-e Shīrāzī, known by his pen name Hafez and as "Hafiz", was a Persian poet, whose collected works are regarded by many Iranians as a pinnacle of Persian literature. Wanda Sent from my iPhone

I Hope this poem will work for you…if not just enjoy. It was shared with me recently by one of my “Activist” Muslim friend:
I sometimes forget that I was created for joy My mind is too busy My heart is too heavy Heavy for me to remember that I have been called to dance the sacred dance for life I was created to smile to love to be lifted up and lift others up O sacred one Untangle my feet from all that ensnares Free my soul That we might Dance and that our dancing might be contagious.
Hafiz
Hafiz (/ˈhɑːfɪz/; Arabic: حافظ, romanized: ḥāfiẓ, حُفَّاظ, pl. ḥuffāẓ, حافظة f. ḥāfiẓa), literally meaning "guardian" or "memorizer", depending on the context, is a term used by Muslims for someone who has completely memorized the Quran. Hafiza is the female equivalent.[1] <image0.jpeg>

My favourite…. A Love Like That The sun never says to the earth, “You owe me.” Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky. Hafiz Translated by Daniel Ladinsky
