Being critical of someone you don't know limits your power of engagement

Being critical of someone you don’t know limits your power of engagement

I haven’t posted in this old journal for so long, there’s dust everywhere. I’m finding half-written entries often. So, here’s an old one that I thought was cool – and, though half-written, I think its in good enough shape to bring it back to life and publish. This one was written circa October 2013.

I have been a little grumpy lately. Recently, I left the local dog park ready to get a…

Radical Unschooling Umbrella

I was reading this random blog I found about Radical Unschooling and thought it was a well-written piece that illustrate the process of someone who may need order trying to wrap their head around something that is fluid and orderless.
