A habit is an ecosystem.
<p>Atthe evening discourse on a silent meditation retreat, I was introduced to the story of Swimology. A young professor was aboard a ship with an old sailor. Every day the professor would impress upon the sailor that he was ignorant about the world. They would discuss Oceanology, Geology, Meteorology, and after every conversation, the professor would conclude that the old sailor didn’t know anything.</p>
<p>One morning the old sailor rushed out of his cabin and asked if the professor knew about Swimology. The old sailor said that the ship was sinking and that unless he knew how to swim, he would drown. The professor only had intellectual knowledge, he knew every <em>ology, </em>but knew not how to swim.</p>
