]]> Comment on The Hermenuetics of Gratitude by Jeremy http://www.playspace.biz/livingquestions/2010/12/the-hermenuetics-of-gratitude/comment-page-1/#comment-776 Jeremy Thu, 02 Dec 2010 00:14:14 +0000 http://www.playspace.biz/livingquestions/?p=279#comment-776 Aside from the fact that this is one of the loveliest birthday presents I've ever received, I think that it is profound thought, and one that makes sense to me and that I agree with. Gratitude has always been a fundamental concept/orientation/experience for me -- indeed to me it is so central to love that I sometimes think of love and gratitude as just two sides of the same coin. But I have never really taken cognizance of what you've said here -- that gratitude is an ongoing interpretive process, and that new aspects of and insights into gratitude and the people to whom one is grateful emerge over the course of one's life, for a whole variety of reasons Especially if one considers others as foundational to or co-creating one's self, then, as one self evolves/changes/grows, one's understanding of those others and how they have affected one will also evolve/change/grow. So I think that you've set out a rather important and deep and humanly valuable thought, and one that deserves further development and articulation. with love and gratitude, Jeremy Aside from the fact that this is one of the loveliest birthday presents I’ve ever received, I think that it is profound thought, and one that makes sense to me and that I agree with.

What does not go said (but is perhaps implicit) is laughing at your fear! As a former second city improve student, I am familiar with the yes, and...approach. Yes, it's about letting go! Let go and laugh and learn. That's it. This goes to show how being present and “in the moment” can help forge new insights into education, the office, your relationships and your career.

Even in education we talk about problem based learning. To me, the strength of AI is that it explores success by telling stories about real experiences. It asks powerful questions without obvious answers. The entire design industry is based on problem solving. Even in education we talk about problem based learning.

Inquiring into things as they are and 'living in the question' is a wow. It is so exciting. I can't believe I lived this long without an appreciation for improvisation and all that its explorations bring. Thank you!
