No, not the rain? Its January, and it is raining now. Some snow still on the ground and just on the weekend it was -14C. It is kind of hard to wander in the cold around Aurora with my camera(s) and with 3.5 year old. Read More »

"The principal goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done - men who are creative, inventive, and discoverers.
The second goal of education is to form minds which can be critical, can verify, and not accept everything they are offered."
~ Piaget, Science of Education and the Psychology of the Child
'When an archer is shooting for nothing
He has all his skill.
If he shoots for a brass buckle
He is already nervous.
If he shoots for a prize of gold
He goes blind
Or sees two targets -
He is out of his mind!
His skill has not changed. But the prize
Divides him. He cares.
He thinks more of winning
Than of shooting -
And the need to win
Drains him of power.'
