When I love it around here the most. Posted by John on November 12, 1999 at 16:23:05:
Hello, everybody! You all are lookin' very sharp!
I love it the most around here when the class is teaching itself without
me, and you are really carrying "the lesson plan" forward! Good work by
so many of you these days, including newcomer Michael. Welcome to you.
I see that you've been doing a lot of studying around here. It's a
tough situation that you face—so many of us have been through that
before. And no matter what a person decides to do, unhappy marriage is
one of the most painful things that so many of us humans seem to have to
go through in our lives. Yet this can be related with peacefully and
harmoniously . . . or, at least, we can give that our *best shot* by
bringing mindfulness into play.
And Lydia's been doing a lot of studying around here. You newcomers can
add a lot of value to the work that we will be doing in this class this
semester. I can tell you that already.
I've been workin' on a long, long class the past few days, that
addresses many of the past postings by several of you that have been
"skipped over" in Classroom Talk during my last month of personal
tribulations and reprieve.
This class will reveal the answer to the mystery question about your
"Glad you mentioned music, Coach" posting, Suz, and it will explain in
great detail how I have constructed a Heffalump trap for you over the
last couple of months, Douglas, as you have suspected. And in this
long, long class that is due to be coming early next week, this trap is
going to . . . . . spring! {wide grin} It seems to me your loyal
classmates have prepared you for this very well! And you have done your
part in this preparation, too. Congratulations!
Don't forget, my friend, that "the Fool" has been venerated in folklore,
and in many, many primitive and modern European and Middle-Eastern
systems of knowledge as the *truly wise person*. So we will be
attempting a mystical continuum here, from the "Magical Mystery Tour,"
on to "The Fool on the Hill," and . . . . . beyond. Are you game for
that? "All you need is love, sweet love; love is all you need, love is
all you need, love is all you need . . . "
Mickey, I'm sorry that your posting became part of the Archives of the
last semester (linked in the Kindergarten and Playground Foyer), when
Brent transferred that over earlier this week. That doesn't mean you
aren't still welcome on our Board! Feel free to let us hear from you
again.
To All of you, then, I bid "a good weekend." I'm off to the country
again. Be back on Monday or Tuesday.
Coach
