I used to think
“I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost.”

When you loved someone and had to let them go
“When you loved someone and had to let them go, there will always be that small part of yourself that whispers, "What was it that you wanted and why didn't you fight for it?”

A friend is one to whom one may pour
“A friend is one to whom one may pour out the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that gentle hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.”
--George Eliot

“Only in the darkness can you see the stars” Arab Proverb
“There is not coming to consciousness
without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing
their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imaging figures of light,
but by making the darkness conscious.”
--Carl Jung
At school we’ve been dealing
with a challenging child, R, who arrived in a couple of months ago. He both
disrupts the class and is physically aggressive. Today I was in the classroom with
the substitute teacher as there was no paraprofessional. The session begain
successfully enough with students quietly reading books on the carpet. After a
while they became restless and did other things. At one point discovered R took
some lanyard out of the paraprofessional’s desk.
“Put it back.” I demanded.
“No! It’s mine.”
“You can ask Ms. Kate when
she returns. Put it back.”
“No.”
I took it from him and
returned it.
“Stupid!” and he hit me in
the chest.
“Let’s take a break.” And I
followed him to the door, locking it behind me. He tried to get back in but
couldn’t.
At that point Carrie came by
with A, another one of our older challenging students. She introduced R to A.
“Do you know R? R this is A; he’s one of our leaders.”
A extended his hand to R.
“Maybe you can teach him
something about basketball.”
The two sat down at a desk
outside the room.
A paged the book to R: “Do
you play basketball? It’s a competitive sport. Here, do you know who this is?
Lebron James. Yeah he’s pretty awesome. And this guy here is magic Johnson. Do
you know him? You know you shouldn’t call a teacher stupid. That is not what
you do. And here, here are the rules of the game. This part here tell you about
layups and shooting. You hit a teacher. That’s not right. When I arrived last
year, I was getting suspended every week. But now look at me. Here is the
equipment you need….”
It was amazing how A stepped
up to the plate and was a master at calming another child down and
reintegrating him back into the classroom. I told A I was so proud of him. I
would not have seen him shine if it hadn’t been for R acting up. Grateful.

Life has no meaning
Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste of time to be asking the question when you are the answer.
