Two more days. For kids and teachers alike, you might as well tell us we have 2 weeks - that's what it feels like.
And I (for the most part) like school.
But the kiddos need a break from each other. (And they probably need a break from all the testing and projects we've been having them do this week.)
What's going to be the trick for me? Well, today I am going to focus on the Tenebrae service I will be attending at Church tonight. I believe knowing I will spend an evening of meditation, contemplation, music, readings, darkness, and light (all woven together in a beautiful and simple celebration) will help me keep my center today.
And what about tomorrow? Well, tomorrow I am heading home...after school of course.
Here we go...
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
they definitely need a break from each other! yikes!
