I sat at my dining room table with three new friends today. These were home educating moms who had brought their children over to build in our Lego workshop.
We didn’t talk politics, Covid, nor any of the mainstream narratives. We discussed unschooling and our greatly varying paths to a similar mindset.
I don’t know if I would have met these amazing women if not for the Lockdown and happy coincidence. In the chaos of the new social divisions, I have sought out those who would think for themselves and be willing to meet and connect in honest exchange.
That has meant forming new groups and opening my home when so many doors are closed.
I am grateful for these opportunities to connect. I am more a social creature than most. These connections are lifeblood.
