eyes of a child

looking into the eyes of a child is revealing.  a billboard.  a sign.  a notice.  of what is going on.  an advertisement of what he needs.  or wants. or hopes for.  or fears.  looking into their eyes shows me who they are.  and yet.

sometimes i get too busy.

i'm trying to teach the curriculum

trying to teach a new concept.

trying to get across an idea.  

and i forget that i'm not teaching ideas.  or facts.  or thinking.

i am teaching children.

a child.

one at a time.

and the best days are the days that i teach them.

that i find them where they are and look into their eyes and see who they are.

what they need.

what encourages.

what scares.

those are the best days.

so i think that i'll go about making more best days.

blessings.
