And, there in lies the tale, Martin, of why we don't learn anything worth learning in our educational system! Many of us do not have enough years left to re-learn all that we were meant to learn and didn't. But, I take comfort in the knowledge that, what I have learned in the past five years, has been more valuable than anything that I learned in sixteen years of formal education and my life is so much better for it. Whatever I do not learn in this life, I look forward to learning in the next, wherever that may be.

I agree---this writing is a treasure because YOU are, Martin. My prayer is that this essay lands in the hands of your beautiful daughter, who is a one-of-a-kind child of God, like her Daddy.

Martin, this is a treasure. I am surrounded by educated 'elites' who have been deceived and can not 'see'. This will become my road map for conversation moving forward. Cheers! ~M
