Consideration
As you walk
your way
the paved way
the track way
you decide
the ceremonies
the rituals
the acknowledgement
of the gift of life
From this living
pause, consider
the walker
you have been,
can be, and
who will walk
with generosity
to find a home among
family, friends, and
with community
Alternatively, from the comfort of a chair, imagine reading this passage as you Walk with Nature - walk with the forest in the picture below.

Summary of Free Writing by Stephen Hobbs
Some statements became pictures seen below.
They are sorted by keyword in the left hand column.
Use the ideas here to co-create additional ideas.
Remember - they are free writing including use of new words - and - there might be some (w)holes in them ))smiles
| Education | Parker Palmer: "Knowledge gained from 30 years of educating goes hand and hand with my sense of butterflies at the start of each class." |
| Education | When you mentor, the mentee knows it's working when there is coherence between the mentoring arrangement and connection, and with the collaborative conversations. |
| Educator | As educators, wading through the mindfields of opposites and unsure responses allows for these tensions to push and pull in the best interests of all |
| Educator | To educate requires waiting through the silence between asking the question and receiving the response |
| Educator | As educators, we live through the angst of embracing the tensions of opposites so we can equilibrate them with light, as love. Otherwise, the tensions go underground and chafe the movement. |
| Educator | With immersion in the webs of correspondences, what we share as wisdom is influenced by what we are knowing as facts |
| Educator | Living extraordinary lives occurs through dynamic conversations in communities where we test old conclusions and come into new ones |
| Educator | We can not know the great things of the wholverse without knowing ourselves to be great things. Sacred means worthy of respect. |
| Educator | To improve something has its inherent inequalities. I suggest feed-forward and feed-fromward instead of feed-back as a way to loverage truth, trust, and transparency |
| Educator | VAMPing is to the educator who cares about evolvement as VAMPire is of the educator who neglects their involvement |
| Educator | In being an educator for the world, I nurture my sense of self while asking others about how they see me as I educate |
| Educator | To support learning, honor & develop the practices for the educating approach you'll use. Make your approach explicit. Do not refer to one using the practices of the other. When you mentor, mentor. When you coach, coach. |
| Educator | As you educate, remain alert to your possible self punishment when you diminish your educating approach. Appreciate the educator within, the educating without. |
| Experience | As you review your work - what meaningful pattern recognition technique do you use to continue, stop, and start what is essential? |
| Experience | While writing my book about the Well-Living Organization, I'm reminded, "Organization culture is not a tool or technique that managers can readily manipulate as contingencies demand." Edgar Schein |
| Legacy | You feel the tension. Ask yourself, "So what? What else? Now what?" If okay, ask these questions with your tension participant. |
| Legacy | Induction is inhaling; deduction is exhaling; abduction is breathing. Multi-sensing out loud. |
| Legacy | Have you reduced your intellectual perspective to cold abstraction? What about your emotional and spiritual perspectives? Time to rescript? |
| Legacy | For good to happen, it occurs when you stride forward along the path as you interact with others |
| Legacy | The story of what's next - framed by experience - is the story you share with your yourself, and offer as wisdom with others |
| Legacy | When the sentence does not end in a period, there is much for us to consider about the period |
| Legacy | "You've written it?" Was the question asked by the reader. I said, "Yes." I did not hear back. I thought, onword! |
| Legacy | The hobby called "Your Autobiography" - Write (draw, video, etc.) your stories of lived experience and the contributions you've made. #familybestseller |
| Legacy | Of what you create and share, remember it's for the time it's meant to stay present for most, and others on a search later. |
| Legacy | Consider to embrace solitude rather than loneliness and community rather than crowd; and equilibrate living with solitude and community |
| Legacy | Either/or -- transaction; both/and -- transformation; both either and or -- transcendence. Multi-sensing out loud! |
| Legacy | As we educate, we create places and spaces in which truth, worth, and utility are practiced as a community of significare. |
| Legacy | Without relationship, we involve ourselves at arm's length; with relationship, we evolve ourselves with embracement |
| Legacy | As you move into the new year, who within you will unfold to share stories of gratitude & presence, while walking with inspiration & enthusiasm, all from felt certainty |
| Legacy | Legacy is enacted in the strides taken everyday. The footprints along the trackway - of which yours contribute - offer your story for the generations ahead |

Book Review: The Lakota Way
Excerpt: I never tired of the stories, and I would ask to hear my favorites again and again, my version of watching a movie over and over. Those stories were not just of humans, or “two-leggeds,” they were about other kinds of people as well: the elk people, the bear people, the bird people, and so on. And they were about the land. I never heard a story that didn't involve the land in some way. Joseph M. Marshall III, The Lakota Way p.xii
My Amazon Review: As I read the book, I walked in the stories - albeit in my mind's eye. And, I felt the weather, sat in the homes, and I cried with persons I met. TU Joseph M. Marshall III - I enjoyed the read and learned a lot - and you filled in a few blank spots of history of the plains.
