Seabishop once wrote a haiku that went something like:
Zoning Ordinance
Is five freakin bucks loser
Your land costs thousands
It is one of the best and funniest haikus I've ever read. Great, because what is funniest is actually unspoken - it speaks to planners, who have all had the experience of some millionaire developer complain about the cost of, say, copies which reveals something about their character. On the other hand, planners applying the term 'loser' implies a certain judgement (which we ALL are guilty of - not picking on seabishop )
Imposing this sort of judgement is also an example of something wrong in terms of spiritual development that I personally would be guilty of doing maybe 300 times a day. I should probably clarify that by 'spiritual development' I am refering to a practice of personal development or self-improvement and not necessarily to any religious traditions or belief systems.
I am curious if any Cyburbians have found occasion to consciously integrate any spiritual/self development practices into their daily work as planners?
