English teachers know: that they owe it to their students to draw a curtain on the world of noise and to help them find the silent moment where the prong of insight emerges into light.
Hello Alexia, Each image for me represents a different mood reflected upon.
One of the most inspiring moments for me during High School was when an English Teacher came in to Class with a record player, and proceeded to read and have the students read with the music's presence.
I don't remember the music or what we were reading, but I do remember within my mind awareness awaken and become present. Attuning me to my situation and my surroundings.
I still love that English Teacher... the gift she gave that day, for me personally, has remained with me.
I may not be regular Alexia, but I truly love your 'dreaming of open seas' With appreciation from Magda in Australia
Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI'll think about this as I try to "draw a curtain" on the "world of noise" that 12-year-olds make today. :)

So true, words can just be words but add in something else to stir the senses and more comes out then you might have ever thought.
