the newness of learning aka transformation

Color boats on Barton Creek, in Austin, TX

This system
this work
is based on  learning.

Learning means realizing
a difference
that makes a difference.

That's a nice thing to know.

People come to us practitioners,
and they have aches, and pains:

Our job is not to undo the ache, and pain,
but to provide an umbrella of upgrading
that allows them to function in a way
that makes the pain
irrelevant

That can mean a whole
re-organization
of themselves

Which is to say:
becoming a new person.

Scary, in a way,
and
not "whole new person,"
just new, in functioning with more connection,
ease, awareness and pleasure.

Which is new?

And what are humans about?
Lots of us
want to change
as long as we don't have to change.

Oh, well.

Something's got to shift
and in the world
of
story
and
words
and
what if
and
worry,
that change seems riddiculous or scary or impossible

In the present
we don't even notice
we are new

we just are


And boy:
doesn't sitting around in groups
that talk
about how profound they are
because they done made these shifts
in the past:  BORING.

and to be present:
free,
free fall,
not what we expected
new

delicious
and with a flavor we
didn't
even know
existed

the flavor:
our real selves


And does that have anything to do with
learning
and being
present to moving
with more ease, grace, skill and pleasure?

Yes.
