Dear Sara, As always, your essays fill my imagination with possibilities. I'm retired but that hasn't stopped me from being a teacher, it's just taken my classroom to the rest of the world, starting with my street, my community, the politicians who I'm sure don't appreciate my emails and phone calls, and as many others as I can reach. Thank you for your inspirations and for helping me extend my reach!!! My best, Randy Cornelius

Wonderful thinking. I don't know Mary Oliver, but my reading of her work suggests she fully embraces the gift economy

You know — I think you’re right. Probably a too-neat use of that quote as contrast. Life *is* wild and precious after all.

I love how your mind works, how your senses experience the world, friend.

Issues I left unaddressed in the series: how the lab-studio-makerspace can be sites of formation and readiness; the role of service learning in the same; what having a child with intellectual disabilities has taught me about readiness. And more, I'm sure! Let me know if you'd like more on these topics.

Hi Sara, lovely post as always. It bolsters another challenging (but encouraging) start another semester in the classroom, both as a teacher and a parent. I'd love a screener link if possible.

My high school German teacher was on that flight.

The sense of connection…
