  1. We learn by stumbling

    Modern mishaps can illuminate traditional proverbs.

    One website goes down, essays get lost, and the email gets blocked for a few days. Frustration mounts.  I recall the Bulgarian proverb, “we learn by stumbling.” I cool down, take a breath, and try to appreciate the process of resurrecting a modern communications miracle (website) and move an evolving blog.

    How’s it going? Slow. But please be patient. Compelling Conversations will soon be back, improved, and ready for further technological improvements. Some changes will work; some will fail.

    We learn by stumbling.
