You may be off course
Accept and applaud this one’s response especially if you feel it is off your course, or varies from what you are conveying. You make the effort. Don’t push away. Bring this one along. This one is moving, coursing. And who knows? You may be the one off course—or both courses be right!

grandchildren, community, world
with nuance, story, question, and hearing

Give them their voice
We can give one another their voice and our ears. It is a small thing. It is the biggest thing. We will.
