More From Natalie Goldberg

I remember my very first encounter with japan. at that time, i was deputy mayor of st petersburg. out of nowhere, japan's consul general in st petersburg came to my office and said japan's ministry of foreign affairs wanted to invite me to japan. i was very surprised because i had nothing to do with japan except being a judoka. this was an opportunity to visit tokyo and a couple of other cities. and, you know, a capital is a capital everywhere: there is the official script and certain protocol. it is always easier to talk in the provinces, the conversation is more natural.

The way anything is developed is through practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice and more practice.
Practice Way
It was hard to become an astronaut. not anywhere near as much physical training as people imagine, but a lot of mental training, a lot of learning. you have to learn everything there is to know about the space shuttle and everything you are going to be doing, and everything you need to know if something goes wrong, and then once you have learned it all, you have to practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice until everything is second nature, so it's a very, very difficult training, and it takes years.
Years Practice Space
I was supposed to take the ball out. i told coach, 'there's no way i'm taking the ball out, unless i can shoot it over the backboard and it goes in. i told him, 'have somebody else take the ball out, give me the ball, and everybody get out of the way.'

If you have a golf-ball-sized consciousness, when you read a book, you'll have a golf-ball-sized understanding; when you look out a window, a golf-ball-sized awareness, when you wake up in the morning, a golf-ball-sized wakefulness; and as you go about your day, a golf-ball-sized inner happiness. but if you can expand that consciousness, make it grow, then when you read about that book, you'll have more understanding; when you look out, more awareness; when you wake up, more wakefulness; as you go about your day, more inner happiness.

Yes, we could talk to you for days on end about all the bad first dates. those are stories. funny stories. awkward stories. stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. but that's all bad first dates are: short stories. good first dates are more than short stories. they are first chapters. on a good first date, everything is springtime. and when a good first date becomes a relationship, the springtime lingers. even after it's over, there can be springtime.
