Interesting Quote

This from The Teaching Company catalog:

Most of the important things that a human being ought to know cannot be comprehended in youth.


- Robert Hutchings
Professor- The University of Chicago.

Don't know if that is totally true as children learn about love, family, faith, God... and lots of other connections. But I have found that a lot of things I am learning are things that my more mature mind can get around now, which it probably would have been able to do before I reached 30 or so...:)

We are all on a journey, and this blog's reason for existence is to be a place to put mine. From humble suburbian begnnings just north of Dallas to a Catholic unschooler with a passion for faith, lifelong learning, my family and dogs, here I stand before you. Welcome to my world!
Authenticity. That would have to be my theme at present. To enjoy my family, be true to ourselves and our faith and be authentic and enthusiastic about life!
"True happiness lies in giving ourselves in love to our brothers and sisters. "

I love Dog Day Afternoons...
"What children need is not new and better curricula but access to more and more of the real world; plenty of time and space to think over their experiences, and to use fantasy and play to make meaning out of them; and advice, road maps, guidebooks, to make it easier for them to get where they want to go (not where we think they ought to go), and to find out what they want to find out." [from Teach Your Own by John Holt.]
