11. Pedestal to Platform

Two partners are platforms coming together to build a bridge, an aqueduct, a nomenclature for a beautiful home to being our own original harmonized manifestos while honoring our own rhythms. This way the children can have a larger roof over their heads and they have the networking already established by the parents so that they do not end up having FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out).

After attending this workshop you recognize that the tug of space, to pace in space, to ace in grace comes about because you do not know each other's true positions in life and matters that hit the ceiling once the fan is switched on. Instead of fire fighting, it is so much more compassionate to everything and everyone that is dependent on you to be on platforms instead of pedestals because the area to run around is much much larger and the chances of being pushed into a corner is rather small.

When we recognize that we are unable to give up what makes us, we will be careful to ask the other to give up what makes them them. Because when the other gives and gives and gives and is left depleted, the other stops being the person you fell in love with. Then the crack that was merely a hairline becomes a huge gaping hole that sucks in everything in its vicinity.

If the pedestal is not a pedestal but a platform both would have enough space to pace to ace in grace. When we truly love the other, we support the other to be the best version of themselves, even though the opportunity cost may involve losing them to their cause. None would need to give up anything. Why have less and lesser when you can have more and more; when two platforms meet, a larger platform is created.

We all come into this world through our mothers’ wombs alone and we leave this world alone. Along the journey if we can give more than we get, we would have paid it forward because the pursuit of happiness is not in taking but rather the happiness of pursuit is in giving.
