Be the Rock (or the cinnamon bun – your choice…)

Morning.

Steps:

1.  Outer space.

2.  Inner space.

3.  Copy this (how do you capture the feeling of this place?)…

…while listening to this:

4.  Title: “The Photo Behind Prof. G.B.’s Sofa” (AKA Spring along the Catskill Scenic Trail, 2012)

5.  Date it.

6.  File it somewhere safe so that we can look at it together later.

Remember: no class meeting today; instead, Team 6-Square meets at 10:00 for our Wagamese discussion.

For everybody: use the gift of time today to sink into The Black Cauldron.  Take a pre-reflective moment before you begin.  Remind yourself of your purpose: to be a functioning cog in the big machine that is our class project.  This is your gift to us.  My challenge to you today is, can you enjoy the process rather than focus on perfection?  What happens if you actively take the time before you begin to get yourself into the non-thinking headspace we have been exploring all year?  What if you are the rock that sits still and notices?  What happens if you become calm and friendly before you begin?  What happens if you try it for reals?
