Are we still learning? Questions from my community

by lori | Oct 23, 2018 | Creating, Culture, Essays, Forgiveness, Getting Lost, Imagination, Strength in Real Life, Unapologetically Odd, Wayfinding

It’s October 2018. Status update from earth. We’re tired. We’re working hard. Many of us are in pain: hurting, scared, and angry on a regular basis now. I could say most of us but I can only see and speak on behalf of my own community on that. Here, most of us are...
