Beginner's Mind~~ When we embrace and do salida,Tango opens a door of infinite possibilities as long as our mind is ready for new experiences and wisdom. Zen teaches us to deal with the world with a humble, I-don't-know mind,a beginner's mind.With a beginner's mind, what matters is a willingness to adapt to and learn from the present situation,not insisting on prior experience or mediocrity. For each movement we make,we must be alert and willing to work with whatever is present before us.
from the book Tango Zen:Walking Dance Meditation by Chan Park Tango Zen workshop August 27 - 28,2005 Charleston,SC In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities,but in the expert's there are few. ~Shunryu Suzuki
