"Some 2,600 years ago the ancient Greek poet Pindar wrote, “Become who you are by learning who you are.” What he meant is the following: You are born with a particular makeup and tendencies that mark you as a piece of fate. It is who you are to the core. Some people never become who they are; they stop trusting in themselves; they conform to the tastes of others, and they end up wearing a mask that hides their true nature. If you allow yourself to learn who you really are by paying attention to that voice and force within you, then you can become what you were fated to become—an individual, a Master."

"The First Key to Mastery: Finding your life's task"

 

Just as the day begins to get hot, we find relief under a big grey cloud. As peals of thunder rock the house, and rain pounds the world outside; I stand in my warm kitchen with the company of two home schooling boys giggling, and three speckled quail rescued from the rain. Chocolate chip cookies for the boys and curds for the quail proceed from my palms as I contentedly sigh. This is home schooling; Making the most of every moment, Comfort, family, food, life.
