“The best thing for being sad”, replied Merlin, “is to learn something. That’s the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins…you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then—to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the thing for you.”
‘The Once and Future King’ by T H White
‘We live in a world of unprecedented change. We are immersed in unpredictability and complexity. The more we discover the more there is to discover. Every question reveals yet more questions. We need skills and attitudes to help us to make sense of this chaos or we need to learn how to live with this chaos and let go of the need to know. When everything around us may seem to challenge who we are we need to know how to find that certainty within. We need to take care of ourselves and stand alone in our self assurance and empathy for others yet we sometimes need to be able to show others our vulnerability and ask for help. To support others we need to learn how to give them space. We need to know how to pick ourselves up when we are down, to learn from uncertainty and disappointment. to be fully present and to be prepared to lose everything. We need not to know what to do but how to be. We need to know how to serve and to speak the truth. Above all we need to be the truth of who we are’
