Yes, Peter. I think you're right. I've been struggling to understand how I might respond in a more living and loving way to the processes of educational development I am involved with and see happening around me. How I mght more authentically engage with living standards of judgement. I've found Pat D'Arcy's ideas about an engaged and appreciative repsonse particularly useful as I have spent the last couple of days making a response to Branko Bognar's work. When your letter came through, it made this seem the appropriate place to post it. My response to Branko's work can be found at: http://www.jackwhitehead.com/monday/mlonbb.htm I also post it in celebration of what I see education able to do for people as they engage in worthwhile activities in the pursuit of better lives. Love from,
