Leora finds hope in the resilience of nature, the wisdom of simplicity, and the power of lifelong learning. Not just as an academic or classical way of learning, but a soulful evolution. Leora reflects on the pure joy and curiosity that drives children to learn, as a journey of curiosity and empathy. She contrasts it with her memories of traditional, often limiting education. She reflects on learning as a practice of the heart as much as the mind, something that keeps us forever young.
“Dear Tomorrow,
Today’s world has schools that feel more like prisons to some children, places focused on grades and tests rather than on true understanding. But what if education was something different—a journey guided by curiosity, creativity, and the natural world? In the world I hope for, every child would have access to learning not only in classrooms but outdoors, in nature, where they can feel part of the world around them. Lessons would be filled with music, stories, and exploration, and children would learn not just from books but from the wisdom of older generations. Imagine small groups gathering to hear stories, to play instruments, to try their hands at cooking or growing food, learning languages, and engaging in community projects. This is the kind of learning that fosters not only intelligence but compassion and connection. Children would learn alongside friends of all ages, understanding from an early age that wisdom isn’t tied to a number, but to experience and empathy. Maybe this can be the future you build—a world where every child’s curiosity is cherished.
Yours in hope,
Leora”
