Yesterday I chaperoned my daughter’s first field trip since 2019. We visited the San Francisco Symphony for a children’s-based/teaching performance, followed by time at the playground near City Hall. We ended the afternoon with a read aloud and time spent browsing at the San Francisco Main Library. It was a joyful day, one filled with community, exercise, music and fun. We are so pleased with the decision to change schools for our youngest two children and it was a gift to witness hands-on learning in action.
On the drive home from school, my oldest son asked why Black History Month occurs during the shortest month of the year. This led to multiple open-ended questions from me, followed by a good conversation with all three of my kids. As they get older I enjoy the depth of the discussions we enjoy.
In honor of Black History Month, I am pleased to share a compilation from the group. “Kings Return.” I follow them on Twitter and find myself delighted whenever they release new content. Enjoy!
Lastly, I wanted to share this link: Pope Francis Lands in Congo, Where All His Priorities Converge. I found it an insightful overview of Pope Francis and the realities facing the Congo. I especially appreciated his quote, “Power is meaningful only if it becomes a form of service,” and remain awestruck by the Pope’s example of embracing the “poor and exploited,” as described in the article.
Blessings on your week ahead!
