Quick search

In doing some online research, I noticed my own impatience. Finding relevant websites, I gravitated to the more concise content. And of course, concise is not necessarily complete.

How often do we take this stance? I want to understand this concept … but only if it can be explained in about thirty seconds. I want to learn about this issue … but only if it’s presented in a bulleted list. I want to see how this works … but only if there’s a short video to watch.

What happens when we learn patiently? What happens when we give a subject time? Hours? Days? Weeks? To consume and digest slowly. To sit with the complexity. To stay until understanding becomes a partner.

Quick searches and quick answers are everywhere. But there’s a lot more to learn when we dig deep.
