[quote=Anonymous]Trying to teach them to find beauty and satisfaction in small, ordinary things. To love nature, and get themselves out in it regularly. To read across generations, and millennia, too. To know history, and to understand that history is happening now, all around them, and it’s bigger than they are, but that doesn’t mean they are powerless. To be useful, whatever thar means. To make things. To move between connection and solitude, and to enjoy both. To see people as people no matter what they have, or don’t. To be active instead of passive, and to be urgent as rarely as possible. To respond instead of reacting. To observe. To notice. To distinguish between happiness, contentment: and joy. To know what brings each, and what doesn’t. Good life stuff, basically. Working on it for myself, too. It helps. [/quote]
