I spent a Saturday morning with the Still Waters community and it was a gift. A joy and honor to listen to students’ stories and to be in company with them as they read and wrote with wisdom, from the heart. We learned from each other and ate together and marveled in our shared and differing experiences. Being with this beautiful group of humans helped me remember how much every word counts and how stories heal and how connection and presence are what a person needs most to feel a sense of belonging in this world. Thank you, Still Waters. I so look forward to returning.
