I just received this in a news letter from The National Education
Association, it seems walking in nature is helping in many ways. Mike

I was struck with Luke Nealey's comment about
His day, and the quiet touch into
The process of making....
and thought came to me of ancient
Wisdom.....
Before enlightenment you chop wood
And carry water,
After enlightenment you chop wood
And carry water.
The essence of our human condition
I think is in large part fed with
The repetitive tasks that engage us
Physically and allow our thoughts
To wander.
I would agree that in moderation....
Unlike the overwhelming intensity
Of Vince's production schedule...
But I find periods of repetition
Allow for the surprise of
Creative mistakes to fall from
My hands like pearls...a gift...
