When environment is hostile , many animals go into hibernation. Their heartbeat , respiration rate and temperature drop drastically. They seem to ‘sleep’ through hard times. When caught in a strong ocean current , a seahorse drifts gracefully with it until it passes by an underwater plant. It then uses its tail; to cling on the plant until the current passes by.

Let ends be worthy of your toil or you toil in vain. When the going gets tough , don’t just get going. Pause , think and asses s the situation sensibly. Evaluate the options available .
Withdraw into a cocoon when an unannounced storm in your life appears , and thus remain until it passes by. Flow with the situation while not losing touch with your roots. Gigantic trees are uprooted in a typhoon but smaller plants bend with the wind and live on.
Use the periods of lull in life to retrospect and plan.Retrospect on the path you have thus far trodden and put into perspective the path ahead.

The bald eagle has a life span of 50 years .When it reaches 40,its beak and claws begin to bend .The curvatures prevent it from catching prey. Its weight increases because it can no longer pluck excess feathers off its body. Flying itself becomes agonizingly difficult. The majestic eagle is thus rendered distressingly helpless and feeble at prime of its life. Then something incredible happens . The eagle dashes itself against rocks until the beak breaks off . it then retires into solitude. For three months the eagle survives without food or flight.Three months later , a new and sharp beak grows back.The eagle then pulls out excess feathers on its body and trims its claws.It soars the skies again and begins a new phase of life in all its majesty.
When weighed down and alone in life, never look up and lament ‘O destiny you have given me the vast sky but taken away my wings with which to fly”.Look into the sky instead and think of the eagle that scripted its own destiny. The process of renewal may take time and may be painful , but when it is done , you will begin life anew in all its splendor . Thus you shall be reborn to triumph.

Camouflage and disguise are amazing displays in a world of predator and prey.
Be in receptive harmony with people and events occurring around you .Blend in with your environment and try not to look like a person apart from it even if in fact you really are.Trying to be different may not always make you a trendsetter . On contrary , you may be branded as a deviant and a misfit , especially by those who see in you a threat.
Interest others with your uniqueness if you must , but not to the point of intimidating them.Apear ordinary and conserve your distinctive skills and assets to be deployed at the right time and place.That’s the mark of extraordinary survivors and winners

WEEPING BUILDINGS

Couped up in an office building made of glass
Every wall a window, to the outside world
The world outside dancing, dancing in the rain
Trees washed green, under nature’s shower

Sitting by my table, facing the glass wall
I wonder why I am doing , what I am doing
Should I not be, there in the rain
amongst the dancing trees?

Here I am, inside a weeping building
The rain runs off glass cheeks like tears
What sorrow does the building house?
Or are these tears of joy and pride?

To make the sheets of glass stand proud and tall
Amidst the constant flow of traffic
Hundreds risked their lives,is it pain
Or is it pride they feel when the work is complete?

The Field of the Future

The key to deeper levels of learning is that the larger living wholes of which we are an active part are not inherently static.Like all living systems , they both conserve features essential to their existence and seek to evolve. When we become more aware of of the dynamic whole, we also become more aware of what is emerging.
....
Entrepreneurial ability is an expression of the capacity to sense an emerging reality and to act in harmony with it.
...Every profound innovation is based on an inward bound journey , on going to a deeper place where knowing comes to the surface.
...
This inward bound journey lies at the heart of all creativity, whether in the arts , in business, or in science.Many scientistsand inventors, like artists and entrepreneurs, live in a paradoxical state of great confidence and profound humility - knowing their choices and actions matter and feeling guided by forces beyond their making.
Can living instituitions learn to tap into a larger field to guide them toward what is healthy for the whole?What understanding and capacity will this require of people individually and collectively?

Presennce

All Learning integrates thinking and doing.In reactive learning , thinking is governed by established mental models and doing is governed by established habits of action.
deeper levels of learning create increasing awareness of the larger whole - both as it is and as it is evolving - and actions that increasingly become part of creating alternative futures
....
All learning integrates thinking and doing .All learning is about how we interact in the world and the types of capacities that develop from our interactions . What differs is the depth of the awareness and the consequent source of action.If awareness never reaches beyond superficial events and current circumstances, actions will be reactions.If on the other hand , we peneterate more deeply to see the larger wholes that generate "what is" and our own connection to this wholeness, the source and effectiveness of our actions can change dramatically.
