endings and beginnings - what charged things! and the poignant thing is that endings and beginnings are almost always paired. even endings that you want are often accompanied by some sorrow because whatever you are leaving served some purpose for you. and beginnings are mostly accompanied by anxiety.
i have been thinking of this a lot lately because i have to leave my job that i have had for the last 6 school years. i am excited and anxious to do my student teaching and then get my license and teach my own kindergarten - but i also am truly sad to leave my school where my dream to teach kindergarten was born. i have been able to watch my kinders grow (this year my first kinders "graduate" from elementary) - and it makes me sad to leave, because i won't get to see my other kiddos grow. and i know i will fall in love with a whole new class of kinders next year - but i won't get to see them after....
so, in my life right now i am in a nexus of happy/sad/anxious/excited because an important phase of my life is ending and new one beginning
About Me
- Pixiecola
- i am a professional shoe-tie-er and i do the chicken dance with kindergartners on a regular basis. i love to read, and poetry is my favorite. i love to be with my cass (my daughter, not a misspelling of class). i teach the finer points of verbal reasoning and essay writing to pre-meds. i dance, dance, dance. I am in love with beauty, and my passion can be infectious. I am brought to my knees on a regular basis by the beauty that surrounds me all the time. I love glimpses of people's souls - the bits of divinity that we all leak out. I seek the Great Work, the Summum Bonum, True Wisdom, and Perfect Happiness. However, I have also been known to do things like loose my keys and find them in the fridge Smells make me gag and sometimes puke (as does brushing my teeth - but don't worry, I still brush my teeth). "The soul in love lances itself out of the created, and creates in the infinite a world for itself, and for itself alone, how different from this obscure and fearful den"
