I don’t want to be Ferdinand the duck and I certainly don’t wan to be the cow! So what do I want to be?
When I was in high school I had to take a class called General paper. In General Paper you were given topics and you are required to argue either for or against the topic. You quickly learned how to structure your paragraphs IF, THEN, THEREFORE.
IF x then y therefore one can conclude z. IF THEN THEREFORE is another take on being in the present without resistance. You have taken the problem or challenge and made it an equation or a puzzle, something to be solved or to be figured out. We have engaged the analytical and logical parts of our mind. Allowing us to discover options and possibilities that are not readily apparent.
I want to be Babe! I want to be able to solve the problem.

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great analogy! Love Babe! He was a great pig that although he learned as he went, he was able to listen to all the advice he was given, analyze it, and then use it to solve the problem. Kinda like the If, Then, and Therefore. Reminds me of a math logic class I took in high school.
But I agree, I want to solve the problems like Babe did!

I was told that there wasn't going to be any math in this book. Ack. :-)
