A simple walk around the block with my son turned in to a long "nature watch." Yes, nature watch. He noticed ants gathered around a piece of food. So we sat on the curb to watch. Noticing and discussing the ants movements. We compared them to documentaries we had seen on ants and other insects. When he became bored, bubba tested theories of moving the food and watching the ants reactions. After a while, we lost interest and continued our walk back to our house. This is a simple moment in natural learning. Stopping to watch and observe, learn and test, instead of being driven by an agenda. Living a life of learning freedom means living with eyes wide open. Open to learning by stopping and sitting on a curb to watch ants.
