I wrote down a line from a song the other day
"'coz right now to feel pain and sorrow is a relief. I miss my heart". (Merry)
At the time I was thinking about my own reactions to life and its challenges. How easy it is to freeze over the uncomfortable bits.
Today it strikes me that I have also seen this happen in organisations. When the emotions get frozen out (except maybe anger which always seems to be allowed). Then there's a real crisis and in a way, it's almost enjoyable. At least something is happening.. it DOES feel like a relief.
I hope that I get better as a human being in not having to resort to pain to feel something. And I hope that I can help some of the organisations and communities I work with stay in touch with what is happening at the heart of their organisation - hearts and minds, minds and hearts, power and love, love and power, left, right, left, right, left...
