I like this article very well written its almost like being a parent raising kids each one responds differently they learn different and yes as a parent you learn from your kids if your really working with them. Thanks for sharing this weird that my kids would pop in my head while reading this article lol anyways ✨

Thank you, Diane. It is not surprising that your kids came to mind. That is exactly where this essay lives. I see Parenting as the purest version of the same movement, with a different purpose. Every kid responds differently to the same love, the same structure, the same words. And when we are paying attention, they teach us more about ourselves than we ever planned to learn.

Hui. What an article. Thank you for sharing it Carl. I tried to identify the emotions and thoughts that arose while reading it. The word that came to mind multiple times was "raw." I don't know why. It must be the way you write and describe all these layers of what it means to be human.

Thank you for taking the time to read the essay, Markus. I’m glad you felt compelled to feel something as you read. We are emotional beings and emotion is the filter through which we see the world.
