(edited message)This thread reminds me of a story I heard a few years
ago....
There was a very poor woman in some country in central or South America. She
was talking to a wealthy, well educated man at her church that was visiting
from America. He had given a sermon on the importance of bettering one's lot
in life by making the best use of whatever resources you currently have
available.... He told her that she should learn about those ants and her
stoop then...She eventually went on to write books about the things she had
learned and making quite a bit of money.

I may have the details not quite right, but the jist is that learning about
one thing kept leading to learning about something else. And a woman who
thought that she couldn't learn anything or make anything better out of her
life was able to do so. And she did it on her own. Kind of like unschooling,
don't you think?

SUZANNA,

Thank you for posting this story. It has been very insightful for me. I
sometimes get anxious that we aren't doing enough - and that probably won't
change...:-), but your story has helped quell my most recent worries.
Thanks.
