Upheaval often comes before a great change, either for better or for worse. I'm an optimist. I feel the American spirit of courage and innovation will arise and make us even stronger. It is my hope and my prayer for our country.<br />This was a marvelous post, Keena. Sarah J.

So her friends probably called her Maud, but in written documents, she is Matilda.

Would be valuable to watch even if your teen doesn't have an open mind -- might put a crack in it. :-) I remember when I started college, one professor flat out said: my goal is to get you to question everything because I want you to learn how to analysis X from all sides. I think we need to be more analytical, as well as more historical.

Even though dated, they will apply and are extremely entertaining. Both are about 10 one-hour episodes and still available on DVD from Amazon. I strongly recommend them for teens who have an open mind and would be valuable to home-schoolers.

I also am a fan of the Ellis Peters stories from the Maude/Stephen time frame. Life goes on, regardless of what is happening. I appreciate your post, and looking forward to the upcoming anthology.

I thoroughly enjoyed your post, the now (like you say it's chaos) and the past. We all need to step back and look at that big picture. Your story sounds intriguing and I look forward to reading yours and all the rest. I'm so pleased to be included with all you Medieval writers this time around.

Learning from the past is something that most nations can't seem to do. It's a real pity. I'm not sure what the future holds, but you're right...life goes on, regardless, and it always has.
