". . .there is nothing you can buy, achieve, own, or rent that can fill up that hunger inside for a sense of fulfillment and wonder. But the good news is that creative expression, whether that means writing, dancing, bird-watching, or cooking, can give a person almost everything that he or she has been searching for: enlivenment, peace, meaning, and the incalculable wealth of time spent quietly in beauty. "-Anne Lamott
I wonder, as I read these words, if this idea is taught in schools? Is it even considered when designing curriculum? A nine year old girl that I met this weekend told me she wants to be a dentist when she grows up. Cool, I thought. I've never heard that from a child. So I asked her why that interested her. She said she'd heard they make a lot of money. Sigh. Surely some dentists are inspired and fulfilled by their work, but doubtful that they got into it for the salary.
