capslock: my words
tension resolution

Life seems to be full of tensions, sometimes they seem healthy, sometimes they seem all pervading, sometimes they fade into the background, sometimes we fall off one end, and sometimes they pull us apart.

So often when two seemingly good things are in tension we have a tendency to try and resolve the tension, to try and find a way that will mean it is no longer noticed. Particularly with our own personal tensions, the ones that we most see, the ones that can so easily be deconstructed and pulled apart and made to nothing by those around us but for us that is never enough. For the one living inside the tension, living over the tension, it will always be there, so arbitrary but so real and all encompassing. So true.

Well I often want to resolve them or at least find a deconstruction that satisfies, something that makes it digestible. I hate having to accept something that looks right if it doesn’t feel right. So I have come to the conclusion that it’s not about tension resolution, it’s not about finding your point along the imaginary line and striving for the middle, it’s not about compromise or having to succumb to mediocrity. But actually these personal little tensions that we have, our weaknesses and strengths, these are us, I am my tension, and it is what I am called to bring to a group, to notice in a project to contribute to a team. I do not try to find the middle, I press in at both ends, I live my tension. I walk the knife edge ridge between two welcoming crevasses. And that is where I am alive, to do both, to see them realized in the moment.
