Noticing: An Invitation to Practice

From August 14, 2014:  Our most recent San Diego Contemplative Dialogue gathering ("Community of Practice") focused on "noticing."  The invitation or "homework" for this next month is to notice and share little items or events that you spot on the way to work, doing dishes, riding your bike, walking in the woods, kayaking with alligators...

Tell us the things that you notice:
  • strange little items or events
  • newly noticed aesthetic qualities of everyday items
  • any sort of epiphany or discovery
Start now:
  • What do you see?
  • What do you notice?
Respond directly to this blog post, or email us (dialoguesd@gmail.com).  Please, using your own discretion, note in your email if we can share your posting on the blog (with your name or anonymous).

Happy noticing!



Quote - Jane Goodall, primatologost, anthropologist, and author

You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you.  What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
