Olivia’s Story

In the time when I usually made photocopies, planned for upcoming classes and marked assignments, the then 16-year-old grade 11 student Olivia Roberts would pepper me with questions.  I never knew where her inquiries might lead: contemplation of the Chakra system and its intersections with Western medicine, considerations of quantum physics and their impact on spirituality, or even showing off cute cat videos were all possible when interacting with Olivia.
