Museum Scratch-Pad

Description:
This artifact is a "Museum of Forrest" meeting-minutes/to-do list of sorts, jotted down during my most recent chats with Ana and CY. It also has a couple screen shots from our weekly zoom calls. (Note: the museum itself is our collective work of art.) On the back of the paper is another list from a different, and dare I say life-changing, meeting with my dad + Nicola...a significant detail to me.

Reflection:
I know myself so much better since curating this museum (from Feb-June 2023). This is invaluable to me !!

I now have proof that I've been expressing transparent threads of my spirituality for my entire life. Further, with ~800 entries documented in our final artifacts database, I am no longer able to deny the prolific fountain of expression that I can't help but be. At times, I imagine myself to be hiding ~~ but it’s all laid out plainly in this museum, inviting “witness me.”

Uncoincidentally, I also feel a greater sense of personal agency than I've ever felt in my life. Here I am, a young 30, living as a man for the first time this lifetime. I can finally see decades stretched out ahead of me that I feel comfortable, curious, excited about living. As long as I have the authentic passion to fuel it, I can do anything. Considering how much more settled I feel than ever before, I can't help but think DAMN !! What is he gonna create NEXT?!!

In these recent few days, I’ve been returning to the peace of witness consciousness … I listened to this meditation that asks, who witnesses the witness? And who witnesses THAT witness ? Eventually, if you trace it up high enough, you find that you are the Source witness. (But don’t take my word for it - do try @ home.)

Anyways, here I am a witness of a witness, witnessing Forrest, and all his shenanigans. I love him and I’m lucky to get to witness this human incarnation from such a cozy vantage point, from right up close, from inside.
