For an Open Learner anything and everything around is a resource from which to learn and reflect. They might decide to jump around in a puddle, try and swim in a pond, challenge the currents in a river or ride the waves in the sea ! Each one identifies what they are comfortable doing and pushes the envelope that much further. Some might want to play in the puddle a little longer, some might want to return to the pond after some time in the sea. Life provides many such opportunities in the same way that the rain makes all these water bodies possible.
