Re: The Box
Many good points to ponder! I've always been one of those "what box?" people...
One thought to share: I agree that when I am "doing" one thing, my focus and concentration are on that thing - whether it is aikido or topstitching a seam or interviewing a patient. However, I am always integrating these things and applying lessons learned everywhere applicable (aside for fans of "Stand on Zanzibar" - I realized reading it as a teen that synthesizer pretty much summed up how my brain works). An example, to keep it within the m.artial arts: being introduced to the iaido concept of pushing the sword rather than pulling it when drawing (and vice versa on sheathing) immediately changed (and improved) how I did iriminage in the aikido dojo.
