“…be the teacher you want to be”
be the person that I am rather than walking
tighter and tighter into the corner
turn open and
waltz
pay attention to the centre of
where I do rather than
lost in the peripheries
include my classes
and my tiredness
be aware but also
adjust
play
I have lost the ability to play
at all at work in life
spin out of cornerofrooming
reach out a poem from
the way it is Said and the way it is Had
see the joy the tension the flow the block
step outside step aside
slightly
but don’t let go
of the hand lean and pull just a little
then go with the
new momentum
together
this is where my value is potted not
writing a manifesto
not being my own biographer
not planning my own lesson
not waving it on a huge flag on a very high stick
not covertly leading the tribes to the Land
and …
sit

You must have a very comfy chair, with all the sitting you do.

dy’know, it’s NEVER comfy, it’s usually on the floor and I don’t do it anywhere near as much as I tell myself to do it; and never have I achieved JUST sitting – I usually have about six or seven active categories flitting around making it really uncomfortable. But I’d recommend it to anyone. Eventually.

I’m only comfortable when I’m slightly uncomfortable. When I’m too comfortable, I get twitchy, uncomfortable.

… then you’re halfway towards sitting. Now you have to sit still WHILE you go from comfortable to uncomfortable and back again. At a hundred times per minute. Without scratching your nose.
