“I don’t understand what’s happening.”

Reading : Read chapters 13-18. Do so in a way that honors your reading process, that honors you as a person.

Kind Action : Bring enhanced mindfulness to at least one activity or chore you do on a daily basis. Don’t try to understand or analyze it, just bring mindfulness to it. This can be washing the dishes, brushing your teeth or anything that you might find yourself completing on “auto-pilot.” Pay attention to the action, even marveling at everything that must come together to allow you to, for instance, brush your teeth.

Storytelling : Consider an experience in your life that has puzzled you, ideally, something that defied explanation. Tell that story in three concise paragraphs, resisting the temptation to justify it in any way.

Comments Section : Try two things this week. First, if you’re willing, please share with us your story from the storytelling section. In a second message, share something interesting to you, maybe even surprising, about your experience in this class so far.
