slow burn
My brain feels like this piece by Tom Price looks. A slow, glowing, burning, thing of beauty. I should be writing chapters right now...but I'm here, free-associating. A chat with one of my supervisors, JDJ, has me musing on his three "God-words" that come up so often in teaching:
1. Hope
2. Trust
3. Identity
These play against each other, interact and produce tension in us and in our students~we're all trying to figure this stuff out. I give my students deadlines. I have my own to meet. I sit down to help with revision, paragraph by paragraph, while I have less than 24hrs to be brilliant. To explode into light and warmth.
