Lately I’ve been pondering softness.
That sounds weird.
How does one ponder softness anyway?
Well, it started with “Joan” on the AMC show Mad Men. She is the head of the secretary pool and at
all times remains composed (even in the face of atrocious behavior by the
men).
The more tense the situation, the sweeter and softer her
voice. But she doesn’t come across the
least bit passive.
It’s more like a quite strength.
Steady. Even. Direct. Yet soft.
Very cool.
So I’m thinking… what
happens when hardness meets softness instead of meeting more hardness as
expected?
It feels like the hard energy just might spooge out and
dissipate. Like all the hard energy just
gets disarmed.
