“We seldom think of how we learn the skill of relating to our bodies or to the walls around us, nor do we realize that our orientation is often far from perfect. Many of us carry a mixture of reference into adult life.... The ability to learn a skill such as right-left orientation needs the childish state of mind, that ability to play while learning the ability to pay attention, without intending to learn. It also needs, among other requirements, the ability to feel differences; that is, the ability to distinguish between one sensation and another very similar one. It needs intention with attention [my emphasis].... Repetition in a small child is more often due to the pleasure the act evokes and to its novelty, than to any intent to improve. This state of mind goes together with total satisfaction of oneself and excitement and the absence of desires which tense the body and the spirit. The simple mood, posture, and movement are conditions for learning—which is also growth.”
