Merle, Mike,
That's very much along the lines of what I'm suggesting and hoping, Merle. Not
because I think there's anything "mystical" to be found either in their
meditating or our meditating, or in Nature, but because practice is a natural
antidote to dead-ends: it can lead to closer connection with Nature than mere
"thought" makes us "think" we're making when we do our Science.
"Contemplation" would be better, but meditation could be best, if they'd take
it on and settle in with it.
You got it right!, Merle. And I wish you'd talk to these guys and gals, and
invite them to your home to practice. Please consider to start a sitting group
at your place! It sounds and looks like a great, conducive place. Very
conducive to settling down and resting the aching BRAIN of these poor folk, who
are in so many ways divorced from reality. I think Edgar will agree on the
usefulness of this, and the true value of the resource you have there. Will
you share? Have some people in? Maybe start your own Zen-in-a-Chair sitting
group? You'd be so good. You are already a teacher, and you have skill with
people, and know how to make it fun. Merle??
Good luck!, all best!,
--Joe
