How beautiful Brinda! I try to teach our soulforce youth this gentle message too. That it doesn't matter what you do in life but that we can always choose to integrate these values of changemaking and love and kindness and all of the matters of the heart into our professions and life. Also I'm reading this great book called Emergent Strategy by Adrienne Marie Brown and in it there is a lovely line about how we must all follow the path of microbiology! Since I know now you teach that topic are inspired by changemaking too, I wanted to share the quote here. Perhaps you or your students would find it interesting. "For instance, humans so far have generally defied and aligned with the "kind" of the jungle or forest--lions, tigers and bears. And yet so many of these creatures, for all of their isolated ferocity and alpha power, are going extinct. While a major cause of that extinction is our human impact, there is something to be said for adaption, the adaption of small collaborative species. Roaches and ants and deer and fungi and bacteria and viruses and bamboo and eucalyptus and squirrels and vultures and mice and mosquitos and dandelions and so many other more collaborative life forms continue to proliferate, survive, and grow. Sustain."
