29 PAX including one FNG – T-bone.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
When I’m with my kids I often blurt out the risk I see them taking – “don’t fall off that wall”, “don’t spill that drink”.  Telling someone not to fall makes them think about falling and usually leads to them doing the very thing I don’t want to happen.  Instead, to foster a Growth Mindset I should tell them the Mitigation – that thing they can positively do to protect themselves – “Watch where you are putting your feet”, “Carry your drink carefully”.

As HIMs we should try to affect the people around us positively and help them to get better by telling them the mitigation, not make them focus on the risk.

MOLESKIN:
This was my VQ.  Thanks to the PAX for following my lead and swinging those rocks.  From my post Q high, I’d recommend it to all the HIMS at the back to step forward and do it!

17 with 2 FNG’s:  Hangover (Dhiren Zavere) and Contempt (Jonathan Edwards)
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I exist.  That one is easy.  I know I exist when I am hurting after an F3 workout.  I know I exist when I have sexual urges, when I am aware of my feelings of happiness, anger, sadness, or love.  My own experiences feel me each day and I am continually aware of myself in them.  With my own inward focus, in my waking, daily routines and sleeping, I am aware that I exist.

God exists.  When I say that, it changes everything.  Henri Nouwen, a Catholic Priest and former teacher at the Notre Dame University, the Yale Divinity School and the Harvard Divinity School states that “as soon as I say ‘God exists’, my existence no longer can remain in the center, because the essence of the knowledge of God reveals my own existence as deriving its total being from his.  That is the true conversion experience.”

When I say God exists, my own life is not center stage.  God is center stage.  God is my creator.  When I say God exists, it behooves me to think of this Creator.  If I am but one creature in God’s creation, why did God create me?  What led to his desiring to create me?  Am I just some fleck that he makes and then throws aside.  Or does he want me to stay close, to listen to him, to talk to him.  If I say God exists it would behoove me to find out more about him, to read his words, to see what others think about this creator.

Henri Nouwen goes on about the implications of saying God exists:  “I suddenly or slowly find my own existence revealed to me and through the knowledge of God.  Then it becomes real for me that I can love myself and my neighbor only because God has loved me first.  . . . Once I ‘know’ God, that is, once I experience his love as the love in which all my human experiences are anchored, I can only desire one thing:  to be in that love.  “Being” anywhere else, then, is shown to be illusory and eventually lethal.
