Are you a Pangloss, Martin, or Candide?
I love this piece, Jim. The gardening metaphor is one that I continue to return to—both in my work as a parent and an educator. Thanks for sharing.
Just a quick note of appreciation from a new subscriber. Your piece has me reaching for my Emily Dickinson to contemplate other garden metaphors.
Thanks to Josh, for pointing me here.
"Our job as a gardener or as an educator is to know that the potential is there, or will unfold. People have a potential for growth; it's inside, it's in the seeds." --Myles Horton, 1999
