Learning is like a boat. There is beauty in the way it clefts through its spaces of movement, with so many years of so many people's understandings of that movement plying that space.
The bow of a boat is the epitome of a beauty envisioned through many years, decades, possibly centuries of envisioning the movement of that bow through the space of oceans, lakes, rivers, seas... Its curves tell a tale of its intent. And then it moves.
I feel like the bow of a boat. A wondrous past of so many wonderful people forming this space of movement that is me and before me a wide open sea.
There is a destination, of sorts. But I have always loved the feel of the ocean when it allows the strictness of knowing where you are to be set aside. I feel like that now. It feels good.
I will be exploring some possibilities to build a "space of learning" for children. There are many good people, involved, helping, hearing, giving advice, giving encouragement. You know who you are. Thanks.
