Aha. The moment arrives. So that's what they call it: Cumpulsio Literosa. Of course, you are not alone with this affliction.
You know, we do go about our days not just hurrying through reading but hurrying through life , hence, the stop and smell the roses message hits home. I do stop frequently but I don't always know the name of the rose or whatever other flower it is that catches my eye. And without knowing the name, some pieces of understanding are missing. Today, you have added a piece to my puzzle of understanding. Cumpulsio Literosa - thank you.

Lol. You're welcome, but I have to make sure that J.K. Rowling and the remarkable Hermione share in the credit. Their wonderful spells inspired the name. :)

Great writing! I love the lesson taught of allowing a plan evolve to what It (capitalize intended) wants to be and not what we think It should be. I look forward to your October postings. Mahalo for sharing and letting me feel better about my compulsive need to read :)!

LOL EM! Looks like the universe guided you in the right direction. You just had to travel there via the Errant Question Trail.
I wonder if we couldn't think of "Designing a Learning Process for the Human Spirit," as Life? We could but it wouldn't be correct. Not until we open our eyes and embrace the verb of designing would it be right. Then we could call it living.
Superb thought provoking essay EM!

toni - You're very welcome. I hope you'll add your voice to October's "redesign education project"!

Dave - Lol. Not the most efficient path, maybe, but as long as it gets me there.
And another lol. Living is surely the ultimate learning process for the human spirit. Now that you mention it, that very concept lies at the heart of Mind Unbound's October group project. Together, we can focus on our most joyful living/learning experiences and then mirror those experiences in schools on purpose. Imagine where we could go with an entire generation of kids who had learned to expect joy and success as a result of challenging the unknown!

EM, this is priceless. You are such an inspired —and inspiring— spirit in our community… have been from the very first day that Dwayne (as I recall) “discovered” you for us!
I am overwhelmed by your intention to create yet another forum of sorts for us in October; quite a delicious prospect with the bountiful talent you have as a writer. Sweet anticipation!

Mahalo, mahalo, mahalo Rosa.
I still remember discovering Talking Story just a week or two into my blogging journey. I remember thinking right from the start how much I would love to be a part of the Ho'ohana community, and it seems to me that my wish came true in just a couple of weeks. I'm not quite sure how you found me, but it felt like wish fulfillment on a cosmic scale.
Grateful to be a part of it,
EM :)
