I was in Belgium this last weekend with a group of Europeans who all have an interest in adult learning, and in informal learning in particular. We spent a weekend living together, cooking together, walking, talking, using art and music - and learning together in the process.
We were cut off from news during the 3 days and heard on our return that Alan Sillitoe had died at the weekend. He was quoted as saying "the art of writing is to explain the complications of the human soul with a simplicity that can be universally understood.".
Something to aspire to!

I wish I knew enough about the human soul to write anything about it. For me successful writing involves and accurate list of things I plan to buy in Sansburys.
ReplyDeleteHow about organizing a 3 day event for us where we do 'writing about the soul'?
