show me something...
yesterday i was reading a book by orson scott card and there was this paragraph that was really cool... so i will share it with anyone who actually still reads this...
Here with the taste of this fruit in our mouths, we are part of something that isn't just illusion. We're part of life, wives and husbands, parents and children, the vast onward passage of genes and dreams, bodies and memories, generation after generation, time without end. We are making something that will outlast us, that's what the fruit is, that's what life is, and what they have across the river, their mad persuit of every sensation their bodies can experience, their frantic avoidance of anything painful or difficult, it all misses the point of being alive in the first place. Nothing that is new is ever new twice. While things that are true are still true the next time; truer,in fact, because they have been tested, they have been tasted, and they are always ripe, always ready...
I think the passage is really meaningful and deep. It has special meaning, not only for my life but also for me as a teacher.
Peace out
