It is NOT one voice all by itself
Completely alone
That makes the difference
It is the rich and remarkable harmonies
Of voices working together
Fresh from 3 days in a row teaching and collaborating with
others to create an experience for the kids at Winter Camp, I find myself this
early Saturday morning less exhausted knowing Today I don’t have to go DO it
all again.
Ahhhhhhh…
I started out as loose and free as I like to BE when
teaching. It was pretty clear that such an approach would NOT suffice.
So… I stepped up.
I shared my insights. I asked questions.
I collaborated.
It is pretty darned amazing how that works. How one voice
grows strained and stretched BEyond capacity, yet 2 or 3 together create
something extraordinary. Something BEautimous.
As I did so I felt empowered and re-energised. I didn’t wilt
at the “slings and arrows” some kids can seem to BE launching at me. [sensitive
flower that I am!!!] I met them there and found as my mind opened my heart did,
too.
Kids today… this
is what we often BEmoan. But this week I completed that sentence in new ways.
They DON’T learn to problem-solve, think creatively, or work collaboratively.
That, then, was what we gave them an opportunity to DO.
Ahhhhhhh…
I love you, Currie
