Holding Space

The constant bias toward productivity can have a downside.

When we narrow our focus,

Toward the plan,

Blinkers on,

Scheduled tightly,

Time within boxes,

Zero wriggle room,

That opportunity, too good to miss, might just pass us by.

Wouldn’t that be a shame!

Holding space for spontaneous decisions, changing plans, once-in-a-however-many-opportunity could be the most productive thing we can do.
