I’m thinking a lot about ‘care’ this month. I’ve spent a lot of time in hospitals over the past six months and felt the impact of having caring nurses looking after my dad. Those kindnesses mean so much to me and him and all who love him. Working with people can be pretty challenging. As a teacher my care factor varies throughout the day. I wish it were always at full strength. I am trying to imagine a world where caring for one another is easier. People who are around others in their work have so much power to make someone’s day.
A month of feeling a lot of things.
I’m enjoying this summer’s extended warmth but also wonder what it means for the planet, climate, and seasons.
I’ve been thinking a lot about shared experiences. I appreciate that school, with the ban on mobile phones, offers a space for shared experiences for our students. I spend less time on my phone. I love being present with the people I work with and our students for those hours during the day.
Here’s something to celebrate the Year of the Snake. The lovely Venus/Neptune conjunction in Pisces weekend included listening to Luka Lesson poems.
