Man does indeed know intuitively more than he rationally understands. The question, however, is how we can gain access to the potentials of knowledge contained in the depth of us, how we can achieve increased capacities of direct intuition and enlarged awareness. . .
Just as an acorn contains in its unconscious the dream of the oak tree and that dream expresses the coming into being of the oak tree, working with a person, we have to have a method of drawing forth what is in the seed of the person, the unlived potentials.
- Ira Progoff, At A Journal Workshop
An acorn contains within it the dream of a mighty oak.
A life journey, a creative journey, grows out of the seed of one’s song.
We need that song from you, the song that only you can sing.

I’ve been journaling for fifty years. It is a practice that has helped me understand my life, its patterns and potential. Putting thoughts down on paper, weighing decisions in writing, forces an element of logic on a process that simply thinking or meditating on those decisions lacks.
