My suggestion in the Webinar about getting lost was/is to get back to the body.
To get lost is to walk a bit every day while staying
open to being surprised by what lies unexpectedly in the familiar;
to get lost is to amble along with no intention or goal or purpose;
to get lost in this way helps to lasso the busy mind and slow it to the pace of one foot in front of the other;
to get lost is to become a sail boat rather than a motor boat on the currents of the day.
I call this practice the art of drifting.
It is a way of embodying a poetic sensibility that is responsive to the appeals of nature and the world.

Dear Robert Brian Bonnie and All
By way of introduction My name is David Oxley and I live in South devon UK. The show over here comes on at 2am and so far I haven't made the live transition but loved the recording that came a couple of days after (thanks Bonnie)
What really opened me to a poetic sensibility was reading Khrishnamurti's Notebook...what 30 years ago. How deeply present he was to the world about him and how exquisitely he described for example the immediacy of a sunrise and the pigeon's playing in the trees. It seemed completely radical to me at the time and quite wonderful and awesome to be in the world in such a way and with such a sense of connectedness.
I feel some excitement with this series now..bathing in the similar waters ..and if I were to wish for myself it would be that I wrote some lines too. Iwanted to include a youtube clip of David Whyte talking of Dante and David Waggoner's poem Lost
