Youth
We have been learners before. We have been beginners before. Remember how confusing it was? We couldn’t know what we didn’t know. We were suspicious of adults, wary of teachers. Did they really know what they were doing? Sometimes the most forceful ones, viewed suddenly in their natural habitat, didn’t appear to be living lives we – or anyone – would envy. But we were curious. We wanted to process, to become, to grow up. So we took one step at a time, savoring it cautiously, the way we tasted food as infants. Do I like this or not? Maybe yes? Maybe no? We keep trying it to find out, and before we know it, we’ve downloaded a huge body of knowledge into our smooth little brains and our stride swings wider. More confidently. It’s almost as if we know where we are going. Mantra “Today I will keep an open mind.”
