As a child, I was made to memorize many things, including a weekly verse for Sunday School. That training has indeed stood me in good stead.

On an evening like this, my mum would take us to the lake for a picnic. We'd have a driftwood fire and play in the water, eat ourselves silly, and head home sand-covered, mum singing some of the old songs as we went.

There’s as much dignity in attending school to study folklore, mythology or the Middle Ages as there is in studying computer science or math. A world in which only the hard sciences are celebrated is not a world I wish to live in. The humanities give joy and meaning to life.
