Educators have not only an opportunity
but an obligation to open the ‘doors of perception’ for all students.
The enduring purpose of education
is to provide students with a perception
of the outer reaches of their talents and possibilities
and, ideally, to give them a reason to continue to learn
and contribute to their society for all of their lives.

When one is a stranger to oneself,
then one is estranged from others…
Only when one is connected to one’s core
is one truly connected to others.

…I need to come home to myself.
It’s not really how far I move
to find my own wisdom that matters,
but it’s crucially important
that I take myself along on the journey.

Jim Fords River Pushing Floating Pack

What constitutes the bulwark
of our own liberty and independence?

It is not our crowning battlements,
our bristling sea coasts, our army and our navy.
These are not our reliance against tyranny.
All of these may be turned against us
without making us weaker for the struggle.

Our reliance is in the spirit which prized liberty
as the heritage of all men, in all lands everywhere.

Destroy this spirit
and you have planted the seeds of despotism at your own doors.
Familiarize yourselves with the chains of bondage
and you prepare your own limbs to wear them.

Accustom to trample on the rights of others
and you have lost the genius of your own independence
and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant
who rises among you.
~ Abraham Lincoln

Freedom is indivisible;

It's often determined more by

It floats among us like a cloud
and is the realest thing we know
and the least to be captured,
the least to be possessed by anybody for themself.
It is like a grain of mustard seed,
which you cannot see
among the crumbs of earth where it lies.
It is like the reflection of the trees on the water.
~ Wendell Berry in Jayber Crow

Orange Sunset Forest Reflection - A Fond Good Evening

Home is place, geography, and psyche;
it’s a matter of survival and safety,
a condition of attachment and self-definition.
It’s where you learn from your parents
and repeat to your children
all the stories of what it means
to belong to the place and people of your ken.
~ Barbara Kingsolver

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
Security does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of humanity as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.

Twenty years from now
you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do
than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.
