100 years of pondering

Every once and a while I really enjoy reading a book that I don’t get right away. A book that reads well on one level, but has such deep undertones that it isn’t until weeks, months or years later that you actually understand what the author was trying to say. I am always intrigued by the way that authors layer meaing in their works, and how those ideas come back to me later on and suddenly make sense.

My studies in Education have led me to believe that this is really how we learn anything. Step one: read or hear a bit of new information. Step two: tuck it away in your mind. Step three: many years later, remember and make a meaningful connection to your current situation.
