truly fascinating! I had a lot of thoughts moving back and forth during the whole interview. Thoughts like “Get to it!” “Say it!” “Spill it out!, come on, what’s the answer?!” “Why are you so here AND there at the same time, trying to include everything IN the answer? Why are you justifying every start of a sentence you try to speak? Why do you want to go in EVERY direction at the same time?! I simply noticed it was my own mind following the old patterns; IN THE BOX, feeling the urge to have it come to me in chewed chunks and short simplified ways, funneled, limited, hear him whittle it down into ONE sentence, into ONE answer. Obviously my Impatience. Obviously an old limiting pattern. At the same time I loved it! I took it in completely. I loved this flow. I just loved his answers! I loved the way he INCLUDED everything in his answers. I loved the way he carefully selected his words, carefully dodging possible ‘wrong-directions’ you could interpret what he was, or wasn’t about to say. I loved the experience of understanding we usually ARE in a box. I loved the experience of him being ALL around and taking me with him. It felt like an ‘outofthebox-journey’. I loved to once again understand there IS no answer and at the same time knowing EVERYTHING is the answer. what IS, is the answer, if you know what I mean. I realized his answers -slow as they may have appeared to my mind- where in fact the answers to the questions. In other words, I Loved this interview, Lilou. And of course I love you too! Sjef
