A Case for the Absorbent Mind

I’ve had this step workout for about 6-9 years. There were two moves I just couldn’t do, as they were so complex, so I improvised. One day, after several years, and as the first complex move came up, I just did it. Wow! How did that happen? Now more years have passed, and today I did the second move.

I didn’t practice them, so Maria Montessori was right about “The Absorbent Mind,” even though she was referring to children. My slo mo brain has been absorbing these moves for years, and somehow it was translated (there must be a better word, but I can’t think of it) into the physical moves. Which goes to show that you really can teach an old dog new tricks.
