[...] The digital current is powerful. It can sweep you up and take you on a meaningless journey filled with a barrage of information that never enhances your understanding or wisdom. [...]

So, I read this this morning and my first reaction was a western resistance. Thoughts like "I gotta get things done. Sit still?" But I decided to apply it to actually dealing with customers and I found it made people a lot more trusting and made my day more efficient. Yet, it definitely is a practice. For someone who's Type A, restless and figgity, it takes some getting used to. The biggest barrier is thinking, I'll sit still when I get here or do this, and then find myself in restless motion all over again. The key I found was sitting still inside, right here and now, even though the body is doing something, like walking or talking.

This is a beautiful concept. All of us have software "written" on our hearts that is activated through contemplation. We use this software to accumulate knowledge through our physical senses but we need contemplation to convert the facts into understanding and finally with conscious intention and effort…into wisdom. Keep up the good work Jeffrey!
