Much of my time has been spent this past week tending my seedlings – and has been both exciting – and concerning – as I have tried to negotiate through the whole process – and learn my way.

I love this quote I came across – “Life is a dance – you learn as you go “. Likening life to a dance seems to fit well for me – there are always new steps to learn – and it’s definitely something that is learnt – as you go.

As I have said before – I am no expert on gardening – I just love seeing things grow – and tending the garden. My knowledge is ‘sketchy’ – to say the least – but I am always very keen to learn.

How grateful I am for the help I can get – almost immediately – on the internet – when I am faced with a dilemma.

I love the fact – “It’s okay to learn as you go along”. I don’t need to be an expert – I can simply continue to ask my questions – and – even when it all goes wrong – I find that I have usually learnt – by my mistakes.

In fact – someone once said – “You learn more when things go wrong” – and that is true – or at least that’s what I’ve found – for those are usually the times when I do ask more questions.

It seems that often when life is going smoothly for me – I just – ‘go with the flow’ – don’t feel the need to ask questions – and – maybe miss out on learning new things.

But of course – I don’t need to wait for certain things to happen in order to learn – I simply need to understand – that there is so much to learn in life – and keep an open mind – continuing to ask the questions – because – “Asking questions is one of the best ways to grow as a human being”.

Of course – not all my questions get answered – but for me – that is part of life too – for – “We do not grow by knowing all the answers – but by living with the questions”.

I accept that there will always be things that I don’t know – or understand in life – but I actually love that. It keeps me curious – always conscious of the complexity of life – body – soul – and spirit – willing both to ask the questions – and to live with them too.
