I am late this month, but that does not matter. Better late than not. And if sometimes not, no matter whether already for long or only for short, then every day there is a new opportunity. Not just a year from now.
I want to explicitly emphasize the importance of an annual action day compared to a monthly one. Every year is just enough to remember what was missed again last year, and hopefully to remember it next year.
Yet education takes place every day. And if it is not education, it is malformation. This can be seen in any shrub or tree, whether the conditions around it are good for it or whether it is the result of severe pruning. And even then it can be lovable and feel good.
An interview came to my attention, and before I checked back in here, I really wanted to hear it in full. In it, Richard Fransham talks to Max Sauber. I was irritated at first by the German-language intro. But that's just the framework of what is otherwise apparently a mostly German-language podcast by the multilingual producer.
The interview is rich with suggestions that are blanked out or muted elsewhere. So are my contributions to the @HomeEdders community, which I thought was the only appropriate one besides an incredible amount of schooling. But my second post may have been judged too quickly, or may not have been ambitious enough in design. I don't know. It might just take a hint within the community to undo that. But that is not my business here. Let's try a different community, and eventually everything will be in my blog, no matter of all muting.
My business is to bear witness to how I experience action days like this and hopefully build a bridge to unimagined dimensions.
Because one thing, which is addressed with great clarity early on in the interview, thwarts an annual day of action right from the start: An enormous number of people are simply too busy with curricula to be able to reflect on what is happening around them in the long term.
For me, this is one more reason not to declare an annual day of action, but a daily one. And my reminder hopefully follows around every 20th for a while. We will then meet in a year from now, who knows.
There is still much to discover. Don't wait for it!
