You are so right about nurturing relationships coming before "book learning." It's a prerequisite I think.<br /><br />Maybe because of my convent years, I always tried to build community in the classroom. A community in which a students felt safe asking questions and offering answers because they knew that the other students and I would appreciate every offering without judgment or ridicule. Feeling part of the whole makes for growth. Feeling safe brings forth the best in all of us.Dee Readyhttp://www.cominghometomyself.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24806308.post-82314251136538819122011-08-11T08:31:24.568-07:002011-08-11T08:31:24.568-07:00Beautiful.....Beautiful.....Juliehttp://www.juliefarley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24806308.post-6851530078450003252011-08-09T18:37:07.804-07:002011-08-09T18:37:07.804-07:00Beautiful post, and as Brenda and fullsoulahead po...Beautiful post, and as Brenda and fullsoulahead pointed out, some phrases that are so wonderfully crafted.<br /><br />As one without that kind of family I am envious of the dynamic you so poignantly describe, joys and sorrows included!Traceyhttp://siftingthegrain.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24806308.post-51079502696799557852011-08-09T15:48:06.721-07:002011-08-09T15:48:06.721-07:00Seriously touching and thoughtful post..

While you acknowledge this, there is also much light and love and wisdom in your thinking and description.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24806308.post-69465639728997637662011-08-08T13:48:39.556-07:002011-08-08T13:48:39.556-07:00What a thought provoking post.

They are so intertwined, and when I think of the most painful deaths I've lived with, I also think of the waves of growth that have emanated away from the pain. I am a believer that there is little growth or change, without abrasion of some form. <br />I also went back to read the piece you wrote before. Your eloquent choice of words was soothing and felt connecting.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923693784234135636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24806308.post-78352649599410444092011-08-08T11:37:34.338-07:002011-08-08T11:37:34.338-07:00So glad you had this special time, and the wisdom ...So glad you had this special time, and the wisdom and open heart to glean its many gifts.

Between then and now, he has moved on to whatever comes after life's journey. <br /><br />But his family continues to join in celebration of togetherness. It is so wonderful when each new generation carries on that tradition. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this and also your thoughts on abrasion opening up our hearts. That seems so wise to me.Dee Readyhttp://www.cominghometomyself.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
