Beginner's Mind~~

When we embrace and do salida,Tango opens a door of infinite
possibilities as long as our mind is ready for new experiences
and wisdom. Zen teaches us to deal with the world with a humble,
I-don't-know mind,a beginner's mind.With a beginner's mind,
what matters is a willingness to adapt to and learn from the
present situation,not insisting on prior experience or mediocrity.
For each movement we make,we must be alert and willing to
work with whatever is present before us.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities,but in the expert's
there are few. ~Shunryu Suzuki
