Explore To Learn

"I learn by going where I have to go." - Roethke

Funny how full of common sense and yet how profound this notion is. Some people are afraid of change or do not want to voice what's going on inside for them. Others like to move, keep things fresh, explore, and play with possible answers (instead of being told the right answers). You "movers and shakers" may be the types who drive your children, partners, friends, employers nuts because you've always got to try things out for yourselves. I'm one of these types. When I'm unsure of what it is that I'm trying to learn, I move towards it. I also try to give birth to my thoughts and feelings by creating a piece of art. Or writing a poem. Or singing my words within. Or dancing a reaction. Or simply having an in-depth, spontaneous conversation with a friend.

Once I've played with and explored what it is that's going on, I inevitably learn something.

Set out on a journey and learn what there is that will open your heart, open your mind, open your horizons.

I'll ride the trail with you and go where you have to go.
