“He was dumbfounded but learning fast” (Great Work quote)

“He was dumbfounded but learning fast.”
~ Mark Helprin, Winter’s Tale

Winter’s Tale is a lyrical all-over-the-place read which I’m really enjoying at the moment, all while holding on as best I can.

In an early chapter I came across this quote, which grabbed me.

That Great Work moment.

Stepping into a new place.  Dumbfounded.  Barely able to be sure of exactly what’s happening.

And already adapting, changing, sizing up what’s next.

=> What are you learning at the moment?

=> Is it fast learning?  Or are you meandering?
