I like your thinking, Katherine. And again, I truly enjoyed your response to me. I was just so taken with the "timing" of it all, so I had to speak up. Looks like we're all connected in this: Epictetus and Aldous and David . . and Katherine and Marcia. Nice!

Marcia, one of my best friends is Marcia (56 years so far… I just did the math, and you could knock me over with a feather) — your response means a lot. Thank you. Timing, synchronicity… I maintain miracles come in all shapes and sizes and are best left unmeasured because what seems tiny can, in the end, have huge consequences whereas something that seems huge at the time can, in the end, be inconsequential. We’re on the ground and just don’t have the long range perspective or the birds’ eye view. My career was in primary grades, mainly, public school teaching, and I loved including instruction on the big ideas… Metacognition… Observing oneself to see how you tackle a task, looking at the big picture of how things work… as our digital devices all communicate through the air, across cyberspace, invisible except for the towers… there is much more in play that we never see, but can be blessed if we are open and paying attention, looking up, inward, down so we don’t trip… Outer space, inner space… It’s bigger than anything we will ever be able to fully know, so just taking in the moment and appreciating is such a beautiful thing. Good morning, Marcia. I fully agree. Very grateful here.
