I love teaching, and I love my students. There's always something new to consider that comes from them. A freshman student of mine just posted her favorite quote:
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye. . . . It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important."
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. - The Little Prince.
It's been years since I've read that text, and I forgot it was a "book of wisdom" in its own right. I think I'll pick it up again. I have failed to "waste" time lately for my particular rose (martial arts), and to listen to my heart, because my mind is shouting at me so loudly to get things done!
