Starting/Starting back to MAPP.
I have posted before about how 'starting' or beginning comes in different forms. See this post
https://adesolamapp.blogspot.com/2019/01/beginnings.html
But at the moment I am thinking about getting to the middle!! rather than thinking about beginning and ending - which we tend to do and dismiss the middle. As if the middle was just the vehicle for getting somewhere else. But as you know from my work - the process is the 'thing' the process is it, the journey is the learning part. So rather than think about making your study a compartment that must begin somewhere and end somewhere try thinking about how you get to the middle of it. How do you get to the point where you are in a routine, where you are familiar with some thoughts and books and people and they are mulling over in your head (in the supermarket or on the bus)? How do you get to enjoying the feeling of explaining an idea or dancing or reflecting on it in your journal that already has a number of pages you have written on? How do you get to your blog being a familiar place that you write in and have comments on and use to connect and comment with a group of students on MAPP you are fond of?
How do you get to be in the middle of your life not on its edges? That is what I am asking myself at the moment.

Hi everyone,
ReplyDeleteLike Idris, I am also making it a mission this term to engage more with others.
Quoting Adesola:
"How do you get to your blog being a familiar place that you write in and have comments on and use to connect and comment with a group of students on MAPP you are fond of?"
... this is definitely what I will be working on, I had a late start and have been neglecting my blog, so my intention is to focus on getting from the 'beginning edge' of my journey on this course to the middle, and the first steps will begin with utilising my blog and engagaing more.
