“I have done nothing all summer but wait for myself to be myself again.” —Georgia O’Keeffe
It’s hard to tell from Georgia O’Keeffe’s passage if she gets to be herself again.
Or if she’s still waiting.
Waiting for the proverbial perfect moment for something to shift? Something to reveal itself? Something to flourish and flower?
Maybe it does. Conscious waiting is a powerful thing.
All I know is that there is no perfect when it comes to being ourselves.
I also know that no matter what the season
our unlived potentials are dying to be lived.
So what are we waiting for?
Why are we waiting?
The poem and questions below might help unlock some answers.

Watering Unlived Potentials
A poem by Sean Casey LeClaire
when the acorn dreams it dreams of the oak. What seeds in you want high summer sun? what unlived potentials can you water? what is seeking to become?
Questions to journey home with…
What unlived potential in you could use some watering right now?
What is one small, simple step you can take to water it consciously and consistently?
