If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing poorly

You’ve been told your entire life you should do things well. Perfectly. Like an expert. And if you can’t do it well, you might as well not even bother to do it at all. That’s wrong. You can’t instantly be great at doing ANYTHING. The only place to start is at the level we currently are. The always relevant, and sometimes irreverent, Zig Ziglar said one of my favorite quotes of all…

Keeping a beginner's mind

Keeping a beginner’s mind

For years now I’ve held onto a couple boxes of watercolor paints. Stashed underneath my many tubes of oils and acrylics, which were the mediums I’d previously used, they waited patiently. I was always unwilling to throw them out, but too intimidated to actually use them. Oil and acrylic painting allowed me to be very slow, controlled, precise, qualities that sort of come naturally to a…

Father's Day

Father’s Day

Today is the last installment of Yellow Stream for the book, Healthy Cells Grow All By Themselves. I think it is appropriate to end the paper version here for several reasons. First of all, I’m finally on my way to recovery from the last effects of the chemotherapy and the radiation. Secondly, the book is dedicated to my children and my spouse, and what better time to end than on Father’s Day?…

William Wordsworth - The Rainbow

This short poem - Wordsworth's ode to a rainbow - is a simple and direct expression of awe and manifestation of 'beginner's mind.'

“The Child is the Father of Man”– William WordsworthTweet This short poem by William Wordsworth, written during a stay in Grasmere in the Lake District, is a simple expression of awe. Composed with an uncharacteristic sparsity of words, the poem is an ode to the child’s mind, the fresh beginner’s mind that has easy access to joy through the experience of sheer perception. The resonant line, The…

Mycket att vinna på att möta livet med nybörjarens sinne, med barnets ögon - ett andra inlägg på temat Attityderna inom medveten närvaro

Tänk dig att möta livet som vore det för första gången. Utan förutfattade meningar, föreställningar om hur saker ska vara eller om hur människor borde bete sig eller hur de alltid beter sig. Med nyfikenhet, öppenhet, ja, kanske till och med förundran inför upplevelsen av det nya eller insikten du just fått.

Tänk dig att möta dagen, livet, världen som många små barn möter sin omgivning.…

  Have you ever witnessed a baby discovering it’s hand for the first time? The absolute wonder in their expression as they realize that they can move it about, that the fingers can open and close into a fist, and then the expression of amazed accomplishment when they purposely direct this wonderful appendage into their mouth.

When was the last time you really…
