But we do not need parenting experts, professional educators, bereavement counsellors, psychiatrists or clergy to do everything for us. It is time we reclaimed the essential gifts of human community and human wisdom that come from a commitment to Soulful living and attentiveness to the Spirit, not only/even from books or specialized training.
