last night during taiko i experienced a typical phase of the learning process, though it's not usually recognized as such---frustration!!! wanting to quit and go home!!
laughed as i thought back to how confident i entered the class [only 4 weeks ago] and realized how easy it is to feel the sudden surge in confidence when you perform the initial basics of an activity well; you're at, or close to a 100% performance level! you're an expert of a very small world! congratulations! you won't feel that way again for a very long time...so there is something to the circular pop-zen notion of the black belt being worked until white once again...
beginner's mind...
