Throughout the article “Teaching Practices of living inquiry” by Karen Meyer there were many ideas that were new to me such as the main concept of living inquiry. I was curious to know and understand how an ongoing living of an everyday life can be a practice. A practice which lets you enjoy every part of your life living in “being in the moment” and from this theory Karen Meyer developed a course which involves pedagogy and practices of each experience.

It is difficult to think about this matter, I know every day when I was at the preschool, I kept thinking about time vs the schedule, what if I wasn’t here how unprofessional would this look? But if we kept the idea of post-modernism maybe it would work. But without any doubt my inquiry of time meant being timeless; I drew this picture of a watch without any numbers or hands just so I can make connections to my thinking of time being timeless. When I went to the dykes in Richmond I took out my notepad and sketched the beautiful sunset and thought this is what time is no one telling you a certain time, you made your own investigation of what time was. I was thinking about how back in the day there were no clocks people told time through the sunrise and sunset but can this still make the world timeless? That’s what I still want to know, this living inquiry might show me the
