Full Awareness
The Grasshopper
After ten years of apprenticeship,
Tenno achieved the rank of Zen teacher.

One rainy day, he went to visit
the famous master Nan-in.

When he walked in,
the master greeted him with a question,

"Did you leave your wooden clogs
and umbrella on the porch?"
"Yes," Tenno replied.
"Tell me,"
the master continued,
"did you place your umbrella
to the left of your shoes, or to the right?"
Tenno did not know the answer,
and realized that he had not yet
attained full awareness.

So he became Nan-in's apprentice and studied under him
for ten more years.
Wide Awake

Life As A Game

or Keeping Your Eye on the Ball
This ancient wall painting (c. 1994-1781 B.C) appears to depict jugglers.
It was found in the 15th tomb of the Karyssa I area, Egypt.
According to Dr. Bianchi, associate curator of the Brooklyn Museum
"In tomb 15, the prince is looking on to things he enjoyed in life
that he wishes to take to the next world.
The fact that jugglers are represented in a tomb suggests religious significance." ...
"round things were used to represent large solar objects, birth, and death."
(Wikipedia)

The 30 Second Speech

by Bryan Dyson
Former CEO of Coca Cola

"Imagine life as a game
in which you are juggling some five balls in the air.
They are Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit
and you're keeping all of these in the air.

You will soon understand that Work is a rubber ball.
If you drop it, it will bounce back.

But the other four balls
Family, Health, Friends and Spirit
are made of glass.

If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably
scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged
or even shattered.

They will never be the same.

You must understand that and strive for it."

Value has a Value only if its Value is Valued

Successful Juggling is All About Timing
A flowing, relaxed, AWARENESS...


Being completely in the moment
 and knowing which priority must have your focus.
Then reflexively responding and being there.

Keep your eye on the ball.
