Brain cancer is...
...learning.
This morning, the gift of time brought us a leisurely conversation about...the nature of human nature. (Given time, we discuss such topics.) We decided that central to our core convictions about humans is that they have the innate, inescapable drive to learn and change.Our examples centered on our observations of human learning in the past couple weeks. One example: People have learned to stay six feet from others on walks. And they've learned that a smile and "hello" both travel a distance of six feet.
As another example of human learning, above you see Darrell not sitting and enjoying the view from a bench. Long-time readers know that Darrell loves a good couple of minutes of enjoying the view on a bench. (Here's one example, and here's another; two of dozens of bench posts, we're sure.) If someone who loves a bench as much Darrell does can learn not to sit on one, for potential safety's sake, what can't we do, human race?
We were thinking serious thoughts about the importance of learning until Suzie and Gary texted, and we saw the humorous side of human learning and adjustment too. In Suzie's words, they're "adjusting well." Here they are, Gigi and Grandpa at their grandson's first birthday:
