Learning
Simply put, learning is the space, the practice, the river, and the discipline that happens in between our knowing and unknowing.
It isn’t a journey into more knowing.
It’s the experience through what you know into what you don’t know.
And once you make it though the unknown you exit on the other side with a little more light, insight, and awe. And, hopefully, that new bit of light shines its rays on even more WONDERful questions to journey through.
Learning sounds a lot like faith doesn’t it?
What if we were more discontent with what we knew and more content with the mysterious places in our hearts and heads?
We would get somewhere.
Somewhere beautiful.
Somewhere our knowing would have never taken us.

“Look at what I did”…
…will be the last thing you think to say when you realize what Love is currently doing to you and has been working to do through you.
Everywhere.
All the time.
