“At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope it can be done, then they see it can be done–then it is done, and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago.” ~ Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden Last weekend, we brought in a team to teach us – or rather, reteach us – that a strange new thing really could be done. Years ago, play […]
