love is a place
& through this place of
love move
(with brightness of peace)
all placesyes is a world
& in this world of
yes live
(skilfully curled)
all worldsE. E. Cummings
I named the blog for an E. E. Cummings poem that speaks to me about the kind of parent I want to be and the kind of environment I hope we can create and nurture for the four of us, as unschoolers, as a family, as four close friends.
Yes
was the word that began a relationship between my partner and I, our world together. Yes is the word that takes us to the beginning of our journey in learning outside of school. Yes is what I want to fill each day with. And yes, I adore poetry.
