This was so moving. Two of my three children are school age and even though it is difficult as a single parent, my children do not go to school. Instead they learn alongside me, and once a week they go with their friends to the most wonderful, magical forest school program. I can't bear to see an institution sever their connection to the magic in and around them.

I loved waking up to read this as last night my maternal grandfather who died a few months ago came to visit me in my dreams with a message for me and my sisters. I don't tell people often of my visits and dreams because most seem closed off to it, but my experiences are undeniable. Thank you so much for sharing this.
