Experiencing an event is totally different from thinking about it. The information from the five senses rush in and the ideas generated will reflect the ecstasy of the experience. One of our groups went on a turtle walk on a beach. They saw a large turtle alone on the sand; one of them came up with the idea that individuals in an organization should be allowed space to grow without interference, in solitude.
Yet another saw the clumsy shambling, turtle and came up with an idea that postulated the exact opposite: Let the organizational plan be clear and precise.
Access, dreams, visions, floating thoughts and synthesize them into you plans. For example, the best way to understand a tree is to become a tree in the storm.
How do you experience a tree?
I will become a tree in the storm,
Tossing my green and hoary locks.
Turning my sightless eyes.
Towards the arrows of lighting.
Shivering with delight
As the dark and angry skies
Thunder through my heart
And the battalions of rain
Tear down the might mountainside
I feel-----
Like a million flickering lamps were lit
In the dark violence of the hurricane
Like a thousand temple bells
Were rung, in the stillness of the night
And all the mighty forces of the storm
Melted
And flowed like molten music
In my veins
Live each moment fully; never be a spectator. For, spectators get nothing out of life. Participants get everything. They live life in all its richness. The quality of their thought is in rich, vibrant, technicolour.
