Jeeze Hanna, I didn't expect to come to Talking Story this morning, dive into the pool - and not be able to find the bottom! This is deep man.

Your paragraph starting, "While life often dictates a focus on achievement..." is one of the most insightful collection of sentences that I've read lately. How people form their interpretations of the world, is a fascinating concept. I think Yvonne provided us a window towards this view yesterday.

I might have commented here too soon. (But I had to) Instead, I think I'll just reread this post a few times and let it permeate a bit. Darn good stuff Miss Hanna!

SUGGESTION: Visit Hanna's site. She extends the subject of learning this morning in a most rewarding direction.

Great suggestion Dave, for you are right; Hanna has written a very beautiful and moving piece about learning on her own Making A Difference this morning.

Hanna, I particularly like that you have put your mom's story in a category you call "honoring values" for in doing so we find that our learning can take on profound meaning for us, just as it did for you.

Dave, Rosa -

Thanks for your comments on my words here, and what I wrote over at my site as well. As I wrote my piece for here on Rosa's site, so many themes came up for me on this topic, including the story about my Mom. I'm glad if these touched something in you both as well.

This month's theme - Learning and knowledge - 'Ike loa - has certainly been a rich one. I'm struck glancing at even just the titles of posts from this month about the depth and breadth of learning that's been shared. Rosa, thank you for this opportunity. As always, you lead by example.

Powerful post Hanna. I've read it three or four times now. Wow!

Finding and following our OWN PATH OF LEARNING...We all learn differently, so instead of saying "Hey, learn like me!" we should focus on how we can help people "learn like they learn." Encourage others to find how they learn best...and then learn something new!

Wow! Thank you for sharing your powerful message. And a great blog you have going as well. You definitely make a difference, and you are now on my blogroll, to be sure!

Phil - I'm humbled. Thanks for weighing in with your thoughts.

Helping others to learn as they learn best - and taking your own lessons from that experience - a big yes to that! A powerful concept there - linking with multiple ways of knowing and being in the world.

In my coaching practice, I'm constantly reminded by the numerous ways we can "know" something - not just intellectually, but having some awareness physically or emotionally (such as the "gut" instinct we all can too often ignore) - and still have difficulty "hearing" the message. I've found great knowledge in learning how to "listen" in many different ways.
