Understanding, clarity, and getting on with life . . .

Advice (aka direction) given me in the first year as an apprentice typographer . . .

“Johnny, you won’t learn anything by standing still. Get going and it will come to you.”

My then response; “Yeah right!”

You’ve guessed it; I’ve been ruminating on some possible connections; connections between building understanding, gaining clarity, and getting on with life, living, work, and all the great stuff of life’s journey.

Here’s my current summary . . .

• Understanding is ongoing

•  Clarity is progressive

•  Clarity is not always in the mind, it’s more likely to be in the journey

So to; “Johnny, you won’t learn anything by standing still. Get going and it will come to you . . .”

My now response; “Yeah that’s right!”

So far I have learned something, but I haven’t learned much by standing still, as I’ve gotten going; building understanding and gaining clarity continues to come in the journey . . .
