More than once, I have been asked to share what I see. What do I see when I head to the library?
I see a highly underrated institution. I see plenty of women all of whom are desperately wanting to do the best by their child.. each of them afraid to offend, wondering if their child is good enough and wondering when, if ever, their child would learn to read.
Why aren't we telling ourselves that its okay to try less hard? To make mistakes. To accidentally tread on another's toes. To forget, to sneeze and to not have the best manners all the time. Its OK if our kids dont know to read sooner than the others. So what? eventually - everyone does!
I honestly dont see any men watching their backs apologetically in case they 'hurt' someone as they are busy living their lives - its just 'how its done' right?

its perfect to make mistakes, there are no REAL mistakes. everything we do is just fine, in fact, just great! In fact, we need see nothing as less, nothing as wrong; for if something does go wrong, what has happened is the real RIGHT..
get it?
