Abstract

ʺAccepting the ways of others while figuring out how best to interfereʺ. That advice haunted this teacher turned professor turned writer as she struggled to find the best way to actualize this mandate given her by the dramatist, Dorothy Heathcote. The personal journey of the fine tension between acceptance and interference is the tale told in ʺOn the Edge of Chaos”.
