In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists

Taoist Meditation 
from Julie Woodward (www.wholisticlifeservices.com)

From "The Book of Peace" by Claire Nahmad    

Close your eyes and you will see clearly
Cease to listen and you will hear Truth
Be silent and your heart will Sing
Seek no contracts and you find Union
Be still and you will move forward on the tide of Spirit
Be gentle and you will need no strength
Be patient and you will achieve all things
Be humble and you will remain entire

Elder's Meditation (July 27)
from Noel Copiaco

"Let us put our minds together as one."

--Irving Powless, Sr., ONONDAGA

If we sat in a circle and put an object in the center
of the circle and we all described what we saw,
everyone would see different points of views from each other.

Some would even see opposites
because they would be sitting on opposite sides of the circle.

In other words, you don't have to see
what I see for you to be right.
In fact, everyone in the circle is right
based on their own point of view.

If we are willing to listen to everyone's point of view,
then we can get a more accurate description
of the object in the center.

This is one way to put our minds together.
When we get the clarity from each other,
we should give thanks
and be grateful to each other.

Grandfathers from the four directions,
guide me today with Your wisdom
from the east, from the south,
from the west and from the north.

Framing: It's About Values and Ideas

by George Lakoff, thanks to Rob Curtner and Phil Shepard

Reframing is rethinking, sometimes a conceptual overhaul. The debate over reproductive rights demonstrates the conceptual work that needs to be done.

 

 

WHOLENESS, UNDERSTANDING, AND DEVELOPMENT:  
AN EPISYSTEMIC INQUIRY

By  Christine D. Egger

(I haven't read this in its entirety yet but my gut tells me it's good, and if I don't put it here in Recycled Electrons, I may never find it again!  LH)

"This study explores certain theoretical proposals of David Bohm and F. David Peat, and searches for their reflection in international development theory and practice. Bohm proposes an undivided wholeness that underlies all apparently separate phenomena and from which reality, knowledge, and process are abstractions."

 

 

 

Please send me your words of wisdom, thoughts, questions, and suggestions.
