Adesola wrote a blog recently about new beginnings and although I logged on to my computer to start working through the handbook and begin to map my practice. This notion of 'beginning' made me want to share my thoughts.
I agree with Adesola that even now term has begun, nothing really felt like it changed on 17th September. I knew how busy I was going to be from now until December (partly my own fault with two holidays booked and birthday celebrations!) so I tried to get a head start on Module two. I read the handbook over the summer break, re-read the updated handbook and also planned all Skype sessions as soon as the calendar was released. So I guess for me, on the 17th, I felt it had already begun.
However, Adesola spoke of the energetic beginning and in module one I had hoped this would come to me. But now I know you have to go and make your own energetic beginning. So that's what I'm starting to do - go and get it! Getting stuck in with mapping my practice and from what I've read from Module 3 students, to find a line of inquiry as quick as possible.
Questions that made me think from Adesola's blog were -
" thinking about what you are building on. To start this course by thinking about what you have done, what you want to build on what good and bad things come with you as baggage. What do you want to take off and what do you want to leave on as you start this new episode?"
I'm going to ponder on these over the next few days. Please comment with your thoughts on those questions :)
