Daily Question, July 13

Who do I want to learn more about?

  • grateful sea

    I want to learn more about the people involved in the Work That Reconnects. When I left my work as a wildlife veterinarian, completely broken, over six years ago, I thought it would take a year to heal. Looking again at Joanna Macy’s process, I feel some hope that perhaps it is a way forward for me. Thank you, Gratefulness Team, for supporting the work.

    • Mary

      Wow, speaking of reconnecting, I really feel connected to you, Grateful sea, as I read what you have written. Teaching in a difficult school, with difficult higher ups, has really taken its toll on me. I have been reading about The Work that Reconnects and find it fascinating. Thanks for sharing this! Mary

        Oh, Mary, I really feel connected to you. Thank you for reaching out. I cannot imagine the difficulty of your work and want to support you in any way I can. I know you must be an extraordinary teacher, so full of compassion, curiosity, creativity. I keep thinking about the art project you created for your students to learn about indigenous peoples. I was truly wowed when you shared that. I so hope for the sake of the children that you can find all the rejuvenation you are needing.

    On an interior level, I want to understand the source of my irritability, my need to be right. I want to learn to be more gracious in my primary relationship. In my outer life, I am learning about the brilliant fitness/wellbeing programme called Essentrics. I am always an engaged student of politics in Canada and beyond. These days I am becoming more informed and worried about the vulnerabilities of liberal democracy in the US and the UK.

    I would like to learn more about a lot of things. I am interested in prehistoric man- pre homo sapiens. I would like to learn more about art - art movements throughout the world from the beginning and up to modern times. I would like to learn more methods of creating art and to become skilled in more areas. I would like to learn about animals in all parts of the world, their ways of living and communicating I would like to learn to be still and to meditate on a regular basis. Together wi...

    I would like to learn to be still and to meditate on a regular basis.
    Together with my husband, I would like to learn how to be in relationship so that each of us loves and gives to each other without giving ourselves away.
    I would like to learn how to be less sensitive. I get my feelings hurt pretty easily.
    I would like to to learn to live my life with peacefulness and gratitude. I would like to learn to remain peaceful in situations which I consider to be stressful, especially while teaching my students.
    I have always liked to learn new things and would like to continue learning always.

      Mary,

      What a delight! What a passion for learning you have!! One particular area that really, really resonated for me was your desire to learn how in relationships to love without ‘giving yourself away’. Ever so grateful. Thank you.

      Blessings,

      Debra

  • Kat

    I love this question and LOVE reading everyone’s responses!

    I want to learn more about Korean shamans, who are mostly women.

  • Linda

    I want to learn more about other cultures. I live in a diverse city and work with students from all over the world, but I really don’t know a lot about their cultures. In retirement, that is one of my goals, to participate in my community’s cultural bounty.

    • Elaine

      Linda, I had a similar retirement goal. In my culturally and ethnically diverse city of Vancouver I found ways to do that and been richly rewarded with wonderful new friendships! May it be so for you.

    Once I bought the autobiography of the manager of a big company that makes the lives of many people miserable; I just wanted to find out why someone would do this. Turned out he was quite a normal guy, determined to develop a good career in a worldly sense, nothing evil to be found. I feel inspired by the life stories of people who completely turned around their lives in a good way. What I get out is a ‘if they could do it, I can do it’ – certainty. I love to learn about the life stories ...

    I love to learn about the life stories of people I admire, through films and books. sometimes its even possible to meet somebody truly extraordinary, like Brother David, and other contemporaries – that’s wonderfully inspiring and humbling 🙏 and I am daily grateful for their examples! They are like rays of sunlight ☀️, touching my heart 💛!

    While I want to learn a second language, learn and take action on what it takes to become a Certified Pilates Instructor, learn more and develop my intuitive senses, I very much want to learn to be more patient. Patient in understanding what it means to be single after all my years in a relationship. Patient in the moment, whatever it is. Patiently non-critical of my own personal development and spiritual growth. Acceptance of life as it unfolds.

  • GCharlotte

    I would like to learn more about my husband and his frailties. The times of his most wishful expectations and how they transformed his life. The gratitude he feels at the moment. How the joys have awakened him for new life. His boughts of curiosity and love of nature.

    Women mystics: Simone Weil, Mechtild, Julian of Norwich, Rabia Basri, Catherine of Siena, to name a few. Their written voices of experiences with the Divine are heard & quoted less than their brothers in faith.

    • Debra

      Carla N,

      Thank you for sharing this. You have piqued my interest to learn more about these ‘woman mystics’.

      Blessings,

      Debra

    No one specific comes to mind at the moment, however, I do enjoy learning new things each day. Every morning I go on this website as well as National Day Calendar. Today is Nat’l Delaware Day and I learned a lot about that state. The news can be so depressing so it’s good to ‘learn’ via different avenues.

  • Sarah

    I am on an progressive journey on how to learn to be closer to spiritual freedom. It is a joyful journey of growth.

  • Christina

    Just have to share: today’s quote about being “right on time,” in essence, is so helpful for me…my WHOLE life I’ve been convicted that I am “behind” my peers! Thanks, gratefulness team!!

  • Kevin

    I will need to give this some thought. At 4:30 AM in the morning and having just woken up, I’m more interested in learning why my body is so stiff!
