Just Doing It

Every now and then we get a flyer from our local community education campus.

The latest lists perhaps a hundred classes on topics as varied as 'Chi Kung for Health with Suzanne' to 'Adopt a Llama'.

Including half a dozen on topics I've travelled long distances and paid large sums to become qualified to practice and teach.

Why haven't I been out there teaching them? Pick a reason:
1. too lazy
2. didn't see the opportunity
3. too busy doing
4. not enough hours in the day
5. I'm not a teacher ...

Or all of the above.

Some thoughts are shields, others are facts. Either way, it sometimes, I think, does us good to simply ask the question.

Was the original purpose simply to gain knowledge, or was it to use it? If so, how?

And are we?
