first post

I took the title for this blog, likeamountain, from something I read in college in 1988. The quote was an admonition to "think like a mountain", from Deep Ecology by Bill Devall and George Sessions. The book had a profound effect on my life (as many books have).

More recently, while studying Buddhism, I came upon some advice on the posture for meditation: "Your back should be like an arrow, or your spine like gold coins piled up. You should sit inspiringly , like a mountain."

So, I'm starting this to put something out into the universe about preschool, parenting, and whatever else.

My daugher's name is Yafa.
