I saw something on someone's Facebook profile recently and can't get it out of my mind.
Two words: ANCORA IMPARO
Since I don't know Latin, I googled it and found it means: "I am still learning."
I also learned that Michelangelo scribbled those words in the margin of a piece of art he was working on.
The words are simple, yet so powerful at the same time.
I find they describe my life to this point.
Even after years of successes and hard knocks, I am still learning.

Wise words. Makes me think of Shoshin, a concept in Zen Buddhism meaning "beginner's mind". I try to remember it whenever I approach something I think I know something about. Much more can be learned when our minds are open to all the possibilities...
