This week’s reading brings to mind the difficulties I experienced and that a lot of kids who “learn differently” have with the rote-leaning emphasized in school and called for in the process of learning how to fit in. Â Perhaps creativity is enjoyed by others when it lights up the dark places of experience and provides surprising extensions of the ordinary and familiar, but it’s affirming to read this week’s assigned pages and hear their confirmation that it is natural for the mind to have impulses that don’t fit in with the established and accepted. Indeed, such impulses can lead us into the still pastures of a more living and noursishing world. –Michael
