My friend and colleague said this:
“Insight is tied to urgency.”
Isn’t that true?
When insight comes —
when the fog lifts,
when the unknown reveals itself, or
when the possibility emerges —
there is urgency to
act,
make a change, and
(re)/align ourselves with particular priorities.
When we know differently, we are summoned to act differently.
And often, there is urgency to this.
And likewise, isn’t the reverse true as well?
“Urgency is tied to insight.”
Sometimes, insight is hidden until urgent conditions emerge.
Urgency arrives,
and we cannot stay in the same
frame of mind,
space of heart, or
orientation of action (or inaction).
We simply cannot stay where we are.
New insight comes.
It changes us.
These things are connected,
insight to urgency, and
urgency to insight.
They unfold layer upon layer with each other.

Ooh. Yes and no. I think both are true sometimes, but it’s also true that we can’t gain insight until we lack urgency. The calmness of a walk in the woods, a warm bath, a meditation session, whatever it takes to slow our mind down can be exactly what allows us the space to make the realizations we need.
