A Pace Of Your Own

Thinking at your own pace.
We all have claim to our own unique way of learning.
It is what makes us…us.
If you saw a child without the ability to walk,
Would you not sit him upon a bicycle?
No. No?
Why then, friend?
Is it because once upon a time, you yourself could not ride a bicycle without a hand?
We all grow at our own pace.
Respect it. Respect that.
Respect them before they are all left reluctant.
Before we bear the weight of unwillingness to feel the freedom to ask.
To ask the questions we need to ask.
To look up with pure eyes and ask, “Can I learn, too?”
