It's easy to think our "up" is everyone's up, and our focus is the obvious way of seeing. Let your children see in their own ways, and if you're lucky they will share with you.
"What's up?" can have a special new meaning.

In a moment
"It helps a lot to try for better moments not days. Don't judge a day by one upset, judge it as a bad moment and move forward. A little bit better each moment. A little bit more aware."

Seeing through
Most of what happens in the world, I will never see.
Most of what happens in my own back yard, I don't see.
Most of what I see, I don't understand, or fully consider. That's the way the world is. That's the way people are.
You will see some beauty.
You will understand some things.

So much, in that photo!

Eight Light Years!
Okay, eight years. Lots of light, but slowed down Earth years. Slowed down-to-Earth years.
September 2 is Just Add Light and Stir's anniversary!
May the richness and riches of this trove of words and photos seep into your soul and give you sweet dreams and good ideas.

The abundance of possibilities
"Unschooling is about living in the abundance of possibilities, not in fear of somehow not fitting the mold. It's been remarkable to me to see where natural learning can take a person. For me, after ten years of unschooling our son, it has become a kind of celebration of human potential."
