And, most vitally, for their children. It is about reducing ignorance to a stump; levering up choice and flexibility of personal option; and filling the soul with occasions of pure pleasure at making connections and discovering insights that recast the moment, a life, – of existence. And then, channeling an urgency to pass it on.
