2. ON STAYING AWAKE ______________________________________________________ Spiritual teacher, Sharda Rogell, reminds us that in each moment there is a choice to move toward what is wholesome or unwholesome. If we stay awake aware and mindful we can discriminate and then we can see. "Do I want to follow that aversion, that hatred, that ill will, that anger?" Or do I want to move my mind to have the intention to take an action that will help me choose wisely? We can say: "No I'm not going to go in that direction; I'm not following the old habitual tendency." We can apply our mindfulness to change that habitual tendency. The Coach is working on a new year with less holding and clinging and more liberation. And you? ______________________________________________________3. ON HAVING A DREAM So how far have we come from the days we heard the stirring words of Martin Luther King? He reminded us that modern man's chief dilemma is with our spiritual and moral lag. Three major problems we still face are; racial injustice, poverty and war. Masses of people still struggle to end the exploitation of their races and land. More than half of the peoples of the world go to bed hungry each night. They are ill housed, undernourished and scantily clad. And here in America, the richest nation in the world, we still lag in gulfing the social and economic bridge between the "haves" and the "have nots". Recent events remind us that nations are increasing their weapons and using their best brains to develop weapons of mass destruction. "We must see that peace offers a cosmic melody that is sweeter music than the discords of war." The Coach quotes King. . . because we can never again live without each other, we must learn, somehow, in this one big world, to live with each other. _____________________________________________________4. ON THE BAGEL When I was a child, I would watch the Bronx, New York bagel guys prepare a three ounce bagel (unlike today's whopping seven ounce bagel) made entirely by hand, of high-gluten flour, water, yeast, salt and malt syrup mixed together in a hopper. The rollers would then shape two -inch strips of dough. The bagel boiler would boil the bagels in a large kettle very quickly. The finished product had a tight skin and shine which produced a crusty crust and a chewy interior. Next the bagel man put the bagels on burlap-covered redwood slats and placed them in a brick oven. I loved to watch the guys place about five dozen finished bagels on strings and then leave them on the doorknobs of their retail customers. Nothing was better than eating a freshly baked hot bagel! The Coach thinks. . . life was better when bagels were smaller. ______________________________________________________ 5. ON HYPOTHETICAL QUESTIONS A few funnies from an Ann Lander's reader to start off your New Year with a laugh!
The Coach sez.. in 2008, take your fun very seriously! _____________________________________________________6. ON USEFUL WEB SITES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS 'This book provides practical and sound advice.
