Transfers ~
strips of paper allowing transfer
bus to bus
decals that transfer a picture from
paper to skin
Skills ~
think
be
do
In our compartmentalized world
there seems to be a misguided belief that
when we leave one area of life for another
there is a
separation
there should be
dismissal
Leaving school ~
book learning comes with us.
But what about
how we studied
how well we played with others
Leaving home and family for
the adult world with different responsibilities,
we take family rules and mores with us.
but what about
how we ate and slept
how we participated in community
Leaving one job for another job
our resumes precede us.
But what about
our personally crafted work ethic
how well we worked with others
Our experiences may be
compartments or chapters
but each individual is filled with
outcomes of trial and error.
A veritable tool shed of
transferable skills that can
support us in any phase of our life.
“If animals play, this is because play is useful in
the struggle for survival; because play practices
and so perfects the skills needed in adult life”
~ Susanna Miller
