Many people still don’t realize that literacy isn’t just about being able to read. It’s about being able to comprehend, evaluate, and apply the information in front of you. The gap between the two is becoming increasingly alarming.
There are still people who get excited to show you a cool rock they found, a strangely shaped cloud, a tiny frog, a pretty leaf, or a sky full of stars. That’s the kind of energy I want around me for the rest of my life.
“Listen to your body.”
My body: Quit your job tomorrow, move to the mountains, befriend stray goats, vanish into the wilderness, and start communicating exclusively through wind sounds and mysterious forest silence.
