In Appreciation of New Horizon

The views from flights so often inspire me. It is invitation to new horizon. It is invitation to new imagination, to new becoming.

Yesterday, it was these three images flying out early morning from Salt Lake City, Utah. The beauty of snow-lined ridges. The beauty of “cloud cities” in the distance. The beauty of rising sun over Great Salt Lake ponds. All of it points to expanded seeing and feeling.

I’m glad to know new horizons. In geography. In people. In dear ones. I’m glad for awakened presence.

This week will be new horizon. Yes, geographically. I’m north of Montreal, Canada at Lac Clermoustier. My heart is drawn to the stillness of the lake. I’m with people committed to exploring and practicing peace as contribution to varied communities. And as contribution of integrated inner and outer learning. Some that I know who have become friends in joy. Some that are new and that I will come to know better this week, in the spirit of a learning dojo and a learning village.

So, what a treat, to be living and learning this week, with the gift of new horizons from flights, and from what is right in front of me on this beautiful ground. It all seems to keep growing and flourishing and welcoming.

Horizons.

Gifts of Circle - Question Cardsasd
Gifts of Circle is 30 short essays divided into 4 sections: 1) Circle's Bigger Purpose, 2) Circle's Practice, 3) Circle's First Requirements, and 4) Circle's Possibility for Men. From the Introduction: "Circle is what I turn to in the most comprehensive stories I know -- the stories of human beings trying to be kind and aware together, trying to make a difference in varied causes for which we need to go well together. Circle is also what I turn to in the most immediate needs that live right in front of me and in front of most of us -- sharing dreams and difficulties, exploring conflicts and coherences. Circle is what I turn to. Circle is what turns us to each other."

Question Cards is an accompanying tool to Gifts of Circle. Each card (34) offers a quote from the corresponding chapter in the book, followed by sample questions to grow your Circle hosting skills and to create connection, courage, and compassionate action among groups you host in Circle.

In My Nature is a collection of 10 poems. From A Note of Beginning: "This collection of poems arises from the many conversations I've been having about nature. Nature as guide. Nature as wild. Nature as organized. I remain a human being that so appreciates a curious nature in people. That so appreciates questions that pick fruit from inner being, that gather insights and intuitions to a basket, and then brings the to table to be enjoyed and shared over the next week."

Most Mornings is a collection of 37 poems. I loved writing them. From the introduction: "This collection of poems comes from some of my sense-making that so often happens in the morning, nurtured by overnight sleep. The poems sample practices. They sample learnings. They sample insights and discoveries. They sample dilemmas and concerns."
