Talking and thinking and being
More people talk about peace than think about it. Many people are full of peaceful platitudes, and fury that others aren't "peaceful" to their specifications or fantasies.

Hi Sandra. I really enjoyed the links from today's email. I got to the link "soothing a frustrated child" after reading a few articles prior and started bawling. Just a big release. I imagined being parented that way and how safe that would have felt, how I cannot really recall feeling safe or heard. I felt tremendous sadness that i haven't been anywhere near that skilled for my children on a consistent level. And also relief that I have found unschooling and am learning...even if it's happening slowly.
