Back to School

Most children have been back to school for a week or more, but somewhere in my consciousness, the day after Labor Day is fixed as the return to school. So I’m thinking that for those of us who left formal schooling behind many years ago, maybe today should mark Learn Something Day. Of course, any day is a good day to learn something new, but today could be an exceptionally good day to stretch your mind a bit.

What might you explore today about our amazing world and the people and other beings we share it with?

The Daily Compass offers words and images to inspire spiritual reflection and encourage the creation of a more loving, inclusive and just world. Produced by The Church of the Larger Fellowship, the Unitarian Universalist Congregation Without Walls.

    Maybe it’s that I’m a home educator that my perspective is different, but I don’t see any one day as better to learn or not. I never stop learning, as does my son, whether we’re doing something that looks like public school or not.

    Such a nice reminder to those of us who sometimes need a reminder that we are indeed lifelong learners.

    In Arizona they’ve been back to school for a month already, not that the quality of most of this state’s schools reflect those additional weeks.
