Food for Thought: The Art of Stillness

Dear all,

I realize we are in that hectic phase that accompanies the end of the first semester; school productions, sports tournaments, school reports, decisions about contracts, summative assessments, social events, holiday planning etc. And I know a lot of you are quite tired as we enter these last few weeks of the semester, so this week's food for thought is designed to encourage you to take some quiet time to think about our priorities in life. Even if it is only the 15 minutes it will take to watch this video then you will have some peace and stillness. Pico Iyer raises some interesting questions for us all in this TED talk that relate strongly to our mindfulness and energizing ourselves.

Here is a link to a very short TED book that was written to accompany the Ted Talk. I have attached the pdf of this book to the email I sent to notify you about this post.


Have a good weekend,

Yours
Adrian
