The function of thought is not to solve problems but to reveal, expose and create them. By living with a problem – immersed in it – working with it – our energy slowly adjusts and adapts, and solutions arise, as if by magic. Any research scientist will tell you so. And this, for me, is the only lesson that needs to be learnt: that as long as I persist and refuse to retreat, a solution – a resolution – will come. We call this the cadential structure of learning.
