Seems like...
This photo was the background image on the first cellphone I ever had. Holly took the picture, when she was fifteen. I didn't recognize what it was when I first saw it, though it was taken in our back yard.
It looks like a dramatic view over the parapets of a castle. It was Holly's view of a sunset through the gap where one cinderblock was missing from the top row of our back wall. What could seem to be pennons and pikes in the background are power poles and streetlights and such across the vacant lot. The sky is a feature of New Mexico's high, dry climate.
If we look for beauty, everyday things might be seen as art.

Your relationship with learning
You can't wait until you understand it to begin. Much of your understanding will come from the changes you see in your child and in your own thinking, and in your relationship with and perception of learning itself. You can't read a touch and then go and unschool for a year and then come back and see what you did wrong; you could be a year in the wrong direction.
Read some, do some. Think. Rest. Watch your child directly and as clearly as you can...

Live now
Pay attention to now. Live today.
Don't have so much of past and future in your head that you can't live now.

just a second
The sunset came into my yard this way for just a few moments. I could have missed it. I have missed most sunsets in my life.
You will miss much of your child's life. Try not to miss too many moments.
It only takes a second to do better.
