Cat One woke me up this morning by thwacking me in the eyebrow with his paw and then gently pushing his claws into my skin. He currently has no remorse.

Good morning everyone. Today we try again.

Breathing. Moving our bodies. Dropping the shoulders. Stepping away from anything that does not bring peace.

the central goal of education shouldn't be to instill facts but to inspire that sense of discovery, exposing us to the best that has been filmed, painted and written, so that we're motivated to teach ourselves. the person who loves can never come to harm.

people ask, “how can I recover my sense of wonder?” take an interest in things. visit art galleries, hit up the library and discover-browse. read widely. learn new languages, new words. watch old films. the world is a wonderful place but wonder is a muscle that must be cultivated like any other.

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

Storm raging outside but everyone in my house is sleepy.
