I share this one with you. I love that we can reflect as developing humans - I encourage that in me - you. We learn when we reflect it seems to me ...............
FROM A YOUNG WOMAN .........
"This mail should have been written almost a year ago, but somehow it didn't (i guess I'm not really that good at writing e-mail, I think I have some kind of blank spot for it, just keep forgetting it...) But I really wanted to thank you for the wonderful course "The Road Less Travelled", that I attended during TT Haugesund in June 2004.
You might not remember me - I was one of the Norwegian girls.
Looking back at 2004, "The Road Less Travelled"- course was without a doubt the most memorable thing I experienced that year.
The course made me more aware of group work, my own personal values and goals(the two doors; instant perfection and gradual growth and Gods football pitch etc.) and my relationship with Jesus.
I'm the leader of my Tensing, and I often think of the course and try to use what I learned.
I have given much thought to the course.
I think that the keywords was "feeling secure".
It was truly wonderful to take part in this course, having something secure to turn to each day of a festival who at times was chaotic with all its 4000(?) participants running about, and with lots of action all day!
A place to focus on the individual instead of the group.
And a place of relaxation without losing focus.
The course focused on the participants, in a new way. not on what we looked like, knew, or were able to do, but on what we felt.
The word is a hard place because we neglect to listen to peoples feelings.
The course also managed to reach out to people of different ages, the youngest participant was 14, and the oldest was... (much older).
The Road less travelled course also opened my eyes. It was good to hear and to understand that we all had our problems and dark moments, and that it was OK. Because living is growing and developing (human becoming), not having the answers all at once. And when you're 17 years old (as I was at that moment) you don't really ever think that grown ups also are developing and does not really have all the answers. Because of the course I started to think about things that I hadn't done before."
