I have been cultivating the ability to be attentive to the forming of insight within me. The skill is to feel the first stirrings of the seeds of insight, to sense something cracking open as if the first tiny rootlets are beginning to take hold inside of you and then to water the unseen believing in a future blossoming. For me, these stirrings come in the form of a word or phrase or an image invested with potential as if I know there is something there even though I often do not know what it is, where it will lead, or how it will unfold. Then, I delight in its germination -- sometimes quickly, bursting into its fullness almost immediately; and sometimes slowly, incrementally, as if it needs patient tenderness over time or the grit of the earth to work itself into its blossoming.
