" It’s an irony of life that even though learning is more or less all they do once they’ve found their toes, much of it unfolds in the absence of reflection. " That one sentence stopped me cold (among others) and took my thoughts in an unexpected direction. You are telling stories not preaching.
Two phrases jumped together for me out of all your beautiful words: 'the currency of human interaction' and cash as 'legal tender'. If only our human exchanges of all kinds - including of money or of what is legal - could be filled with tenderness. Thank you again Susie!
“The currency of human interaction”…such a beautiful awareness, Susie.
Preaching seems to be a word used when the teaching has to do with ways to conform to any of a number of specific agendas. Exploring, expressing, wondering, awe and amazement aren’t preaching, even when agendas abound. Take a deep breath, step back and give yourself a hug, OK? Hope that wasn’t too preachy! 😉

This beautiful, thoughtful writing teaches me more about the gift of slow and contemplative reading. Thank you dear friend.
That's an unexpected teaching I hadn't thought of. The teaching and the learning is ongoing.

As always you are teaching as you write. Your gift of observation is a powerful tool of learning and teaching. Thank you, 🙏🏽 Susie 🕯️
As long as I'm not being preachy. There's a fine line, don't you think?
