Walks, Reflections, Learning

I love the walks that Dana and I take. Sometimes 20 minutes up to The Cove and back. Sometimes 40 minutes, around the waterway and over the bridge. Sometimes 60 minutes, on a Saturday or Sunday. Sometimes even longer, with a stop of coffee / tea at Ground To Earth. I need walks to feel slowed pace. Some mozy to interrupt ever-present and rather demanding speed. Some meander to find the insights that only come at meander pace.

I love the reflection of this bridge over water. Reflection in and on horizon does something to lift my view. To open my heart. To wonder. To wander a bit further in what lives more deeply within as yearnings, longings, surrenderings.

I love the learning that takes me to more imaginative places. If you’ve been reading my stuff for a while, you know that Becoming & Belonging have so often been important. When I give myself permission to dwell in what is deeper, in what is more still, gems of insight come. Gems that guide what to do now with work, with family, with life unfolding.

I believe, friends, that not only to we seek life and life-affirming paths (and bridges), but also, that life and life-affirming paths (and bridges) seek us. It’s why I’m now creating programs to explore such ways.

Thx for reading. Jump in. Try a session. Be with others also jumping in.

Gifts of Circle - Question Cardsasd
Gifts of Circle is 30 short essays divided into 4 sections: 1) Circle's Bigger Purpose, 2) Circle's Practice, 3) Circle's First Requirements, and 4) Circle's Possibility for Men. From the Introduction: "Circle is what I turn to in the most comprehensive stories I know -- the stories of human beings trying to be kind and aware together, trying to make a difference in varied causes for which we need to go well together. Circle is also what I turn to in the most immediate needs that live right in front of me and in front of most of us -- sharing dreams and difficulties, exploring conflicts and coherences. Circle is what I turn to. Circle is what turns us to each other."

Question Cards is an accompanying tool to Gifts of Circle. Each card (34) offers a quote from the corresponding chapter in the book, followed by sample questions to grow your Circle hosting skills and to create connection, courage, and compassionate action among groups you host in Circle.

In My Nature is a collection of 10 poems. From A Note of Beginning: "This collection of poems arises from the many conversations I've been having about nature. Nature as guide. Nature as wild. Nature as organized. I remain a human being that so appreciates a curious nature in people. That so appreciates questions that pick fruit from inner being, that gather insights and intuitions to a basket, and then brings the to table to be enjoyed and shared over the next week."

Most Mornings is a collection of 37 poems. I loved writing them. From the introduction: "This collection of poems comes from some of my sense-making that so often happens in the morning, nurtured by overnight sleep. The poems sample practices. They sample learnings. They sample insights and discoveries. They sample dilemmas and concerns."
