highly sensitive power

For whatever reasons, there are bodies of knowledge that attract, pieces and patterns that captivate us completely while other people pass blindly by. There is expertise that finds us if we let ourselves be. It’s not about discovering a unique way to profit. It’s about being real and happy, and who knows what may happen as a result? The power is in following, in the transformation that happens between allowing the attraction and becoming the magnet.

A woman I know is a curator of blues. She acquires things based on their ability to mesmerize her with their blueness. And I have a young friend who recognizes everyone at his college by the way they move, even when he sees them at a distance. He doesn’t try to do this, he simply notices that he does it.

What’s your innate speciality? What do you gather and curate? Do you share your findings? Will you?

These curators followed, delved, collected, and found a way to share, revealing marvels of beauty and silliness:
