Very few of us can stop our lives and become activists.

There is a divine moment in our lives when we all become one. It's called procreation, and it is reborn, continually and forever.

There is a time of reckoning in all our lives.

Some of us find our lives abridged even before the paperback comes out.

It's not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.

In the 21st century when few of us stay in the same job all our lives, I would like to think there was flexibility so teachers could become social workers, or foster carers become teachers.
