undisciplined

                             


     How can the undisciplined mind understand the disciplined one ? It is a question I often come up against. I am still looking for a way to bridge the gap in a world of instant convenience encouraged by technology.
   To someone who wants to learn a sense of wonder is important as is the idea of possibility. Add some discernment and maybe the right words that translate one experience to another. I can teach someone to embroider in an hour, I find it harder to get them to discern if their decisions are valuable and relevant to what they would like to make.
   It is important for everyone to discern the good from the bad and for them to think that what they do is valuable. It is also important for them to make mistakes without which they have only a fragmented experience. Self consciousness is the enemy here, the inner demon that suggests that everyone is looking at what you are doing, the internet in your head watching.
  Sometimes the journey will be slow, maybe a lifetime; sometimes it just comes down to empathy and sometimes it is a matter of sowing seeds that will stay in the mind until needed.
