Dear everyone,

Here's a good pause time at mid-term (time flies!) for us to re-examine our saw(s) and sharpen them, for our further effectiveness. We have shared on Sharpening the Saw quite a few times on the Bulletin, in the context of end-of-term. But is that the only time to do it? Can / should one sharpen one's saw regularly, monthy, weekly, daily? My personal reflection and take is yes, weekly, daily, and it could be in different routines, and some of us are already doing it - e.g. gym/yoga as a daily or alternate-day process, cafe nua-lazing once a week, the fortnightly solitude walk, that weekly piano/samba session, that daily ready of 30mins every morning, that daily prayer and reflection, that Saturday volunteering at Willing Hearts, and so one. Pacing our pockets of time, small pockets, big pockets, and bags!

This linked blog is worth revisiting:

Many cheers and happy sharpening!
