God encourages learning. When we are open to learning we start with the premise of unknowing.  We are a clean slate on which to place new ideas and understanding.  Open to learning we embrace the process of coming to knowledge.  We are willing to let go of the idea that we should have the answer before we know the question.  Everything we embrace from a space of learning becomes an experiment.  This great experiment called life is about learning what is love, in other words who we truly are.  The experiment calls us to rely upon the Great Teacher for guidance and direction.  The benevolent teacher is not interested in condemning us. The beloved teacher looks to acknowledge and embrace us for being willing to experiment in the first place.  We are noticed for our engagement in life and willingness to be in the process.  As a teacher my favorite times with my students was walking on the path of experimentation of new ideas and understandings.  Seeing the light bulb go off in their heads as they connected with what was happening in the process of learning was inspiring and life-giving.  If I experienced that as a teacher I can only imagine the magnitude at which God experiences that with us.

My prayer for us is the willingness to be in the process of experimentation to see what we can learn about love from the circumstances of our lives today.

If God is the benevolent teacher who is invested in our being present for the process of learning of love for the pure joy of it, what would you be willing to experiment with today?  Share in the comments.
