I really appreciate everyones practice today in my donation class I wanted to share the poems i read tonight and the music the name of the DJ is Mental Physix The poems were Important By Helen M. Luke Tadasana Is My Middle Name,( i used Mountain to be more user Friendly) by Ntathu and When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron I also wanted to offer this story Shattered But Still Whole Next we hear about a sculptor. A large, powerfully built man who fabricates and welds metal, building huge and sometimes towerlike structures. We find out that this sculptor lost his leg some years ago, is unable to wear a prosthesis, and continues to sculpt with one leg. He is asked if his work now is different from when he had two legs. The man responds clearly, deliberately. “This is what I do now. This is normal.” We come to find out that this sculptor has been chosen to create the centerpiece of the exhibit. He has sculpted a sphere out of stone, perhaps marble or granite. We are told that it was perfect, with an uninterrupted, smoothly polished surface. After the sphere was completed, the artist smashed it, then put it back together with bolts, metal fasteners, and bonding agents. Now–full of fractures–it is sitting in the middle of the gallery, in the middle of America, labeled SHATTERED BUT STILL WHOLE. By UNKOWN
