		<description><![CDATA[&quot;And that’s what it’s all about.&quot;  Are you quoting the Hokey Pokey?

Because I&#039;m sure if one has a shared understanding of the Hokey Pokey on a team then they will have fun.  And then we are into the self similar infinite referencial paradox of life.

I think I&#039;ll try the affinity definition game with my group of coaches - if we can get past the &quot;is the Pope a bachelor&quot; PHASE - well then we might not be all washed up, after all.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Had an interesting request from the team I&#039;m currently coaching.  We are in sprint 2&#039;s retrospective, kinda rapping up.  Very few substantial improvement opportunities brought up, yet they were very appreciative - I&#039;m sensing low trust.  One last comment - directed at me and my style of coaching.  Could you quit asking us questions - just give us the answer.  We could use &quot;spoonfeeding&quot; (their word).

I was dumb founded!  Took me a whole weekend to process that request.

To your point - learning is hard, if given the opportunity to not learn, many adults will choose the easy path.  I think this is perhaps the distention between adults and children. 

One is born flexible and dies stiff.

Stay young my friend.

		<title>Comment on Birthright by Ebenezer Tolman</title>

		<description><![CDATA[In studying systems, I came to the conclusion that the larger system typically determines the course of its constituent sub-systems. Planet Earth circles the sun at a distance of 93 million miles, so Europe, Asia, and the Pacific Ocean also travel around the sun at the same distance. If I decide to run a marathon, my feet run 26.2 miles. If I eat a cheeseburger, my stomach has to absorb that. If I smoke cigarettes, my lungs and blood stream deal with tar and nicotine. When Japan went to war with the U.S., its citizens, including un-comprehending babies, eventually lived, and died, under a rain of bombs from B-29 Superfortresses. And so on.

With that in mind, I decided that my emotions should not determine my course, but rather I should determine the course of my emotions. I realized that I could choose my internal state just as I choose which pair of shoes to put on in the morning. I may not control the weather, the politicians, or the bankers (all external milieux), but I can decide whether I want to be happy or not. I realized that I could choose to be a happy and peaceful person, irrespective of the external situation. This was my birthright, just as much as a pair of legs and a nose. I simply can choose to be peaceful and happy. It is my birthright.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To pierce inside the glittered box
You find a space where empty stalks
Never vacant, always enhanced
Meant to keep the short mind entranced
The envelope was always sealed
To keep intent scantly revealed
The beautified must always spin
Dare to stand still and glow within]]></description>
