Virtual sand talking

It seemed at the latest study group,
that the virtual ZOOM whiteboard was our shared
material cultural activity today;
our campfire.

“The primary mode of communication in yarns is narrative – the sharing of anecdotes, stories and experiences from the lived reality of participants.  Might include sand talk.  Physical demonstrations are included.  Sharing drink or food is often part of the ritual (most commonly cups of tea today).  Often yarning will occur around a shared material cultural activity like weaving, painting, string making, Ceremony preparation, crossword puzzles and setting up birthday party decorations.”

Obviously a central emphasis on LISTENING in this Sand Talk summary diagram….as well as the Zen understanding of the inter-dependence of all things and processes.
