I’m taking a drawing class at my local community college right now. And it’s a pure delight because I 1. know very little about drawing and 2. am eager to learn everything. I sit among my fellow students, most of them half my age, a fusion of Buddy-the-Elf & Hermione energy, happily pasting collages and drawing objects badly during timed intervals, delighted not by the outcome, but the attempt. I am reclaiming an interest I abandoned at a young age. Like a 40-year-old learning to ride a bike for the first time: probably awkward for onlookers but thrilling for me.
Another great post! Made me smile. :)
