There is no spoon

   What can I say about the Break-a-thon. Quite a bit actually.

   First off, I had an amazing amount of fun. What an incredible learning experience, both humbling and empowering at the same time. To get taken out of your comfort zone and thrown into the fire is such a great way to test who you are and where your spirit/intent is headed.

   Second, I had the privilege to hold the boards for quite a few people and the look in their eyes was so neat to watch. Some had confusion when the board didn't break, some anger, some realized power is nothing without technique. Then to see them break the board, elation, relief, joy, surprise, it was so fun to watch. The emotions were all over the map. Very insightful for me being able to watch the reactions.

   Third. When it came time for me to break my five boards in a sequence, I thought I had it all planned out. I set up the boards in what I thought was a logical order of flow, locked myself in mentally, took a deep breath, then a soon as my first board broke, poof, my emotion of relief/joy on breaking the first board made me totally forget all the other boards and the sequence I wanted to break them in. Whoops. Thankfully this wasn't a grading situation but a learning situation. It made me realize just how much my emotions get in my way sometimes and interfere with my 6 harmonies. Good to know now as this allows me the luxury of some time to do something about it before it becomes a hindrance.

   Lastly, the bonding, the interaction with other students, the new friendships built, all priceless. Lets carry this forward as a school and build on it. Lets make more memories like this and at the same time, help promote the charities we support.
