Finish this sentence - To me, unschooling is...
I know I could get so long winded on this one and when I read everyone
else's, I'll be going "Oh yeah, that too!!!" I'll try to be plain and
simple, which will be a first.
Unschooling to me is the freedom to go at one's own pace, no matter how slow
or fast that may be according to someone else. No matter what one choses to
busy themselves with if anything at all. To find one's own way, no matter
where, when, how and why, as long as one is happy and respectful that others
have that same freedom as well.

Finish this sentence - To me, unschooling is... giving my children the same freedom I have to live life however they want to. It's the freedom to learn whatever you want, whenever you want. It's the freedom to grow into the kind of person you were meant to be, without outside pressures to be, act, think, talk, and do any particular thing. It's just life as it was meant to be.

Unschooling is living life the way you see fit. Happiness, contentment, acceptance; a place where everyone in our family is experiencing the best.

Unschooling is... Riding the wind, eating cake for dinner, digging the yard
up in search of dinosaur bones cause someone in a town close by found some in
their back alley, listening to the music in the rain, spending way too much
time on the computer with you guys, looking for fairies at dusk, spending the
day cutting and gluing and listening to Mom's old albums (Mom explaining
about 45's to disbelieving kids), going to the store and sitting down in the
produce area to look at ugli fruit, explaining things to friends and
neighbors, running nekkid through the sprinkler, in the middle of the night,
when it is too hot to sleep, playing with magnets, planting a garden,
dressing in a Spiderman costume every day for a week eight months after
Halloween, reading a book late into the night cause you can't put it down,
sleeping till noon cause you don't have to be anywhere, picking that book
back up again two years or two hours later and reading it again, explaining
things to friends and neighbors again, eating cake for breakfast, popping a
bowl of popcorn for the ducks, walking by the river at dawn to see the
cranes, spending a day playing playstation, painting rocks, having the skate
park all to ourselves, explaining to the truant officer who patrols the mall
every day that the kids really truly don't have to be in school right now,
dancing to the music in our heads, the distinction of being the weird family
on the block, the distinction of being the wierd family in the family,
chalking up the street to make our own game of human tic-tac-toe cause there
isn't enough people for checkers or chess and too many cars go by to play
Monopoly, living life.

***looking for fairies at dusk,***
Have you seen any? My friend Cynda sees fairies. She lives in Arkansas
and sees them all the time.

We've done that! And jumped in the pool.
***the distinction of being the weird family in the family,

Waving at you over here! Got that whole weird family thing down pat. We
once drew chalk outlines of our bodies and decorated them with tempura
paint and ran crime scene tape (surveyors tape) around our front
sidewalk. But we've done the tic tac toe thing too.

We are going to have to do this, like tomorrow :) I love it :)

'Namaste' is an East Indian greeting which means 'the light within me bows
to the light within you.' In other words, beyond our achy bones, our tired
feet and our multi-colored real life soap operas, lurks a dimension that is
more than the body, the persona, the ego and all the 'trappings and the
suits of woe' as Hamlet would say---a dimension where there isn't a 'you'
and 'me' but rather a synergy that is more than all that, a space for the
eternal to rest within the temporal.

My friend really sees fairies. Really. My son thinks some ancient being
lives in our Mountain Ash tree. I have never seen, heard, felt, these
creatures. I DO see, hear, feel, feed and eventually end up with every
stray cat in the neighborhood. Not quite as exciting or interesting as
fairies but warmer at night.<g>

Dylan thinks we should leave something in the Mountain Ash tree for who
ever is in there. I have a bird feeder in that tree, but he says maybe
we should put something else in there. What are your recommendations
for Ancient tree dwellers? <g>

and a bit of butter and/or cheese. Something shiny and new, he may not have
had anything new, all his own, for a long time. A shiny brand new penny, or
maybe a pretty bead? Do you know about those little tiny glass beads? (seed
beads) Have Dylan make a small necklace out of some. Don't forget to leave
something at Samhain!
