Having sung the praises of teaching over
and over, and ever and ever, I am always
enamored of those precious few times
in retirement when that special teaching
moment is gifted. Yesterday afternoon
was one such time.
A lovely family of friends stopped by;
we sat in a circle and shared our thoughts
and musings about a given topic. I was
particularly moved by the insights the
children offered to the conversation. As
a teacher of 41 years in two countries, I
do NOT overlook children, ever! Still, I
find myself dropping the jaw when that
certain pearl of wisdom comes out of
their mouth.
I understand that we all need and enjoy
moments of frivolity. Having said that,
conversations such as described above
are food for the soul and I find myself
ever so grateful! I can hardly wait until
next time!
those special moments
much needed wisdom is shared
my heart embraces
