This blog is about reflecting. I love reflecting on the past; the good times and the bad times. I like revisiting events from a long time ago and shining a light of true essence on the experiences as to how that particular part of my past shaped my feelings and attitudes as an adult. Natalie Goldberg, American author who has studied meditation and Zen Buddhism for 30 years, says, "It takes a while for our experience to sift
through our consciousness. For instance, it is hard to write about being in
love in the midst of a mad love affair...our senses are dumb. They take in
experience, but they need the richness of sifting for a while through our
consciousness..." I think this quote
explains my fascination with reflecting. Historians say you can't really rate a
president until a 25 year interval to see the ramifications of his
administration. That's what I hope to do on this blog: reflect and make connections.
Here’s your homework
assignment...class..oops..sorry …bad habit I have!
Spend a few minutes reflecting on some good or bad experience of 10 years ago or longer and see how your view of that experience has changed. For extra credit share it with us..Oops there I go again... I will get
my old red grading pencil out…..
