I bumped into this quote in our readings today and it immediately reminded me of the brilliant exam response the 7yr old offered of their knowledge of a spider, and therefore also the difference between that true lived experience vs a fact-seeking test question and answer:
"It is possible to know a flower, root and stem and all, and all the processes of growth, and yet to have no appreciation of the flower fresh bathed in heaven's dew." Helen Keller, Story of My Life (Chapter 20)
