Why, sometimes, I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” – Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll
You educate a boy, and you’re educating an individual, you educate a girl, and you’re educating an entire village. – Three Cups of Tea, Greg Mortenson
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. – Robert Frost

Skirting the Limits 
Hi there 🙂 I am here b/c of Nicholas Kristof’s tweet “A terrific blog by a young American woman traveling the world, volunteering for women’s orgs: http://bit.ly/bIEsBs”
Here’s a commencement speech that may serve as reaffirmation of what you already know … and maybe even inspire something new? Here’s one of my favorite lines: “The poet Adrienne Rich wrote, “So much has been destroyed I have cast my lot with those who, age after age, perversely, with no extraordinary power, reconstitute the world.” There could be no better description. Humanity is coalescing. It is reconstituting the world, and the action is taking place in schoolrooms, farms, jungles, villages, campuses, companies, refuge camps, deserts, fisheries, and slums.” (from http://www.up.edu/commencement/default.aspx?cid=9456)

(oh make sure you get rid of that closing parenthesis at the end of the link, if you want to check it out)
