Balancing the Weight of the World with the Wonder of the World.
In a past post, I talked about one of MEA’s wisdom practices of “Mentoring Stones.” The fine art of rock balancing has a lot in common with mentoring. Both require presence, patience, and an intuition for knowing when to step back and realize the rock or young person is ready to stand on their own.
This past week when our MEA Baja campus was full of wellness vacationers (as part of our new “re*fresh” program that replaces our Sabbatical Sessions), Ron Nakamoto joined us for his 17th week at MEA. And, as you’ll see from this brief interview with him showing the beauty of the MEA ‘hood, Ron finds a sense of flow in the beauty of nature. Here’s a brief video of some of Ron’s remnants.
For those of you who weren’t able to catch my Meditative Story “The Secret to Aging Well” about how wisdom is about the process of balancing the weight and the wonder of the world, I hope you’ll enjoy it.
