Did you know that Maria Montessori was loved by Gandhi? Yep! In fact, I read today that he once said this to her at a conference in London (1931). I slowly read these words today before starting my day. I share peace with my students. "You have very truly remarked that if we are to reach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with children and if they will grow up in their natural innocence, we won't have to struggle, we won't have to pass fruitless idle resolutions, but we shall go from love to love and peace to peace, until at last all the corners of the world are covered with that peace and love for which, consciously or unconsciously, the whole world is hungering." I am blessed to have found such lovely words today...
