ORBITING

orbiting colors

begin at the central nest

fly along the shells

something atomic, electrons, protons, neutrons, glueons, nuclei, orbits...it all begins at the central nest...activities fly along the shells that orbit the nest, sometimes flying off to join others, sometimes combining, expanding, collapsing, flying...

Gorden MacKenzie's book Orbiting the Giant Hairball suggests that hairballs start with the entanglement of two hairs, and then it grows until it is a giant hairball (an organizational structure with set rules)...one challenge is to escape the ridgidness of the hairball by lifting off from it and orbiting it, staying only close enough to obtain the resources we need to engage in our creative work...flying around the nest but never stuck in the nest.

What kind of nest are you excessively comfortable in, one that you don't want to leave...don't want anything to change...consider what might happen if you jumped out of the nest, spread your wings, and tried to fly...perhaps you would see new vistas, new possibilities, OR you may fall to the ground and have to climb back up the tree...in this later case, maybe your wings aren't strong enough to fly yet and you'll have to exercise them, either in the nest flapping or jumping out and developing greater wing strength until you can FLY.
