Pilates Story 4 / Ditzy Little
"Oh yes, I certified with them back in god-knows-how-long-ago, and then the physical therapy group, and then spiro group before them, last year it was that pair out in greeley, saw him before he died, once. He had the most amazing way of bending backwards in his upper body. After all these year's I think it was genetic. Anyway, he's dead now. And she is a sequestered away trying to make her way through inaccessabliity. So I did certs with NIA and Yoga, became a PT, did the gyro, and all those Pialtes certs I've already mentioned...did I tell you about all the volunteer work at the hospital with yes-that's-who? Ah, I learned so much there. I tell you, what makes people think they can teach? Education is the way, the more the better, I plan on getting certificates until the day I die." Ditzy easily earned her name, but there was always some skewed thread of truth in her banter.
"This program makes my fifth. Next I'm going after you-know-what's-his-name? The recluse? I've written him a letter, I should be hearing from him any day now." Her face lifted and her nose made the exclaimation point."
L'xs almost laughted outright, but luckily she wasn't directly participating in this conversation and went unnoticed in what appeared to be her choking on her drink.
So where does one draw the line between learning as much as possible from the teachers one encounters in one's life, and learning so much, so many different things and ways of doing, that one clutters the brain and can't find a focused thought? Is it that a good teacher is always learning, but the learning is the byproduct of the experience rather than the goal itself?

It is great to collect all sorts of information but it is even more important to find the parallels between everything you have learned. For instance, I can use the principles of pilates to find answers to many situations in life. The 7 principles aren't only for exercise! They are part of a mantra for life.
