What if?

It is 5:49am on Sunday 12th September 2021.

I drank red wine last night. Whenever I drink red wine the strangest thing happens.

I wake up at 4:30am. And I mean wide awake

Not only awake but full of beans.

I can hear the waves crashing on the shore metronomically.

The sea is about 250 metre away and I can rarely hear it from my bedroom, but right now it is clear as day.

The birds have just started to stir and chirp their morning chorus. I feel very happy to be awake at this special time of day.

I saw a light on in the ground floor of the flat opposite.

It made me very happy to see the yellow light shining out like a beacon in the dawn light.

I felt compelled to get up and write something.

Writing is so much to me - a deeply personal thing, a conversation with you, wherever you are and whoever you are, whatever time-space you reside in, I talk to you.

It feels intimate and important.

I am at my most creative when lying in bed. Add red wine into the mix and at about now I may be at my peak.

So I just wanted to say something about life.

I wanted to say, what if?

What if we had no boundaries?

What if instead of a defined persona we are an expanding mass of energy without limit.

I mainly was thinking about running a business when I had this thought and I wanted to say what if your business had no limits, no edges. But it was just a space for you, not just a part of you, but a space for all of you.

Now imagine if we all created these types of businesses or just led these kinds of lives.

What kind of a world do you think that would create?

I get ever so excited when I see somebody doing something they love.

Being themselves.

It fills me with joy, and you know what? It is clear as day when someone is doing this, it shines out like a lighthouse in the midst of a bleak winter on the edge of a stormy atlantic.

I do a lot of podcasts, I speak to a lot of business owners and when you meet someone who is being themself they have a luminous quality to them and a sparkle in their eye.

My skin tingles with goosebumps as I think about this, it feels akin to a spiritual experience for me.

The dawn is breaking fast now.

It’s 6:04am now and the sky is blue, stirring awake.

What time is it where you are? What colour is the sky?

I must draw our chat to a close now as I have a date with the sea before full light and it is an appointment that I surely must keep.

Especially after she called me so clearly from my sleep.

But anyway, I just wanted to share this glimpse, this crack through the door and say, what if?

With love,
