I think facilitating can be a bit like playing chess.
You can enjoy it at any level of expertise.
When you first learn, as with many games and sports, you can experience
beginner's luck.
It takes a certain amount of experiential knowledge to fully appreciate the art
of highly skilled players.
To win you need to be able to project forwards from the other person's position
in a flexible manner, keeping potential strategies in mind, yet all the time
staying open, even mostly waiting for the sudden inspirations which open the
path so unexpectedly and delightfully.
A large component of intuition comes from an informed base, but the spark of
inspiration which brings ideas to life with creative force is so mysterious we
sometimes feel like we walk on sacred ground. I guess that means that the more
you know and understand the more important it becomes to always be a beginner.
