Whatever will be, it is.

​That was the year that was; this is the year that is… Looking back before looking ahead…

Reflecting on the time since What is it to be human? was opened – another question arose::
​“what have you experienced & learned?”

The word that featured most in mind has been ‘space’ and something linked to the quality of that space was most striking. How this, above anything, has contributed to the experience and exploration of being human – and the humanness that has come out through those who decided to join in.
 
There has been something significant about the space – something special – that has allowed for valuable expressions to emerge within and between humans.
​
​What has it been about this space – that made it feel ‘special’?
​What characteristics has it had?...
 
Spaciousness. Acceptance.
Freedom to roam within and without…
Openness, care, kindness
– emerging love.
Listening: “letting it be”.
Simultaneousness of holding and releasing…
Contributing more so than consuming.
Collective more so than individual
A place for being – an invitation:
To be oneself: to be together.
To be human…

When asked about being in the space of What is it to be human? ​One human expressed this: 
 
“I felt 'room', room to listen/hear, room to speak, room to grow. It's rare for there to be so much 'space' in such a short period of time. It was a space encapsulated in a web of calm, positive vibes the globe wide. Awareness of the stark realities of the past and present were laid bare but so too were the seeds of hope germinating for the future.”

What is it to be human?... Let’s go forth - explore, experiment, experience some more…
Human beings - be curious - the open invitation continues... 

​Happy New Year!
