Beth Weinstock: New Year’s Musings 2013


I’ve been really earth-bound this year. I’ve been flourishing a new wing of my consulting business, The Resilience Group, with my work partner Dr. Jane Shure, selling caring coaching, formulating what difference of knowledge we can broach in vocalization engagements, anticipating to be of unsentimental use to my clients, building a new website and formulating a new leaflet — all plain work for my veteran passions and a realities of handling a business.

As a new year approaches, we contemplate during what cost we have attended to this plain ground. This morning we listened John Kabat-Zinn on a radio. Kabat-Zinn is a author of Wherever You Go There You Are, a scientist and teacher who instituted “mindfulness” into a enlightenment as a scarcely domicile word. He brought imagining into a health caring universe and has researched, complicated and shown a advantages for medical patients in pain, and for a rest of us who live a normal and unavoidable ups and downs of life. Kabat-Zinn pronounced that we are vital in stone-age bodies in a digitalized world, that a tellurian “beingness” is out of sync with a technologies we can occupy (and infrequently occupy us). When he forked out that a whole judgment of a work week is outdated, we was a small thunder-stuck. Of course! Our work universe moves 24-7. We are during a computers in a diminutive hours of a morning or putting off a travel in a park, or lunch with friends, for completing a work charge all Saturday afternoon (as we did yesterday).

He also commented on how addictive and charming a technologies are. Not a new idea, of course, as it has turn a common steer to see people during cooking profitable courtesy to their iPhones rather than to any other. The outmost kick from record is present and gratifying. There’s not most we need to do to work during in sequence to be engaged. And entertained.

Listening, we found myself blank a partial of me that is some-more contemplative, that goes during a delayed adequate gait to season a steer of a moon, that ponders a multiverse, that lives some-more entirely in my imagination. we have a friend, a psychiatrist Kr. Liz Koo, who refers to this inner partial of herself as an “intronaut.” we like that. we skip my intronaut self.

My father was a labor counsel by day and a producer by night. On my circular house we have posted a following lines from one of his poems.

My child, mouth open,
Still sleeping,
Hears a song
in a egg of a bird.

These lines are a new year’s invitation for me to reenter mystery, to reengage myself with a sorcery and consternation that ignorance holds, to make time divided from walking my daily trail on plain ground, divided from networking and operative during building a subsequent thing we do.

Also on my circular board, not distant from my father’s poem, is a following quote from a minute created a by a producer Rainer Maria Rilke:

“Be calm with all that is unused in your heart. Try to adore a questions themselves as if they were sealed bedrooms or books created in a unfamiliar tongue. Live a questions raw.”
