I remember a specific moment, watching my grandmother hang the clothes on the line, and her saying to me, 'you are going to have to learn to do this,' and me being in that space of awareness and knowing that my life would not be the same as my grandmother's life. ↗

Surely it is time to examine into the meaning of words and the nature of things, and to arrive at simple facts, not received upon the dictum of learned authorities, but upon attentive personal observation of what is passing around us. ↗

An eternal question about children is, how should we educate them? Politicians and educators consider more school days in a year, more science and math, the use of computers and other technology in the classroom, more exams and tests, more certification for teachers, and less money for art. All of these responses come from the place where we want to make the child into the best adult possible, not in the ancient Greek sense of virtuous and wise, but in the sense of one who is an efficient part of the machinery of society. But on all these counts, soul is neglected. ↗

Das habe ich gelernt: Liebe ist ein Wort, das du nur mit blutroter Tinte schreiben solltest. Liebe treibt dich dazu, die seltsamsten Dinge zu tun. Sie lässt dich regenbogenfarbene Bonbons verteilen, sie lässt dich in roten Schuhen durch die Straßen tanzen, und sie schreckt nicht davor zurück, dich nachts mit blutenden Händen Gräber in paradiesische Gärten hacken zu lassen. Liebe schlägt dir tiefe Wunden, aber auf eine ihr eigene Art heilt sie auch deine Narben, vorausgesetzt, du vertraust ihr und gibst ihr die Zeit dazu. Meine Narben werde ich nicht anrühren. Ich werde neue Wunden davontragen, noch ehe die alten verheilt sind, und ich werde anderen Menschen Wunden zufügen. Jeder von uns trägt ein Messer." (S.456f.) ↗
