To be is to learn

Lifelong learning... a lifelong of learning...a long life of learning! It's a natural process whether we recognise it or not. I don't think you can exist and not learn. To live with the joy of knowing that every new day is an opportunity to embrace wisdom and experience, your own or others, is a gift. The knowledge of the aged, the skill of experience and the enthusiasm and energy of youth, when married together, become the driving force of community life. That's why communities need all ages and all kinds. My learning is limited if I am only interested in accommodating those who think, feel and talk like me. So I want to learn, and sift the knowledge, holding on to that which makes me a better person, and allow the breath of wisdom to blow the rest away.
