Last week we talked about how the journey is the dream and the destination is the practice through the metaphor of teaching and learning. I want to pick that thread back up. Just as I believe creativity is the spiritual disposition of our species, I want to argue curiosity, teaching and learning are organic to our ways of being as well. So organic the debate of nature vs. nurture has been going on for centuries now. Today, I’m less interested in teasing out the difference between the gifts we’re taught and the gifts we’re born with. What I’m more interested in teasing out is what happened to us and how can the lessons we learned along the way serve others?
