How is it that it is already Saturday? Every day I think of what I'm going to journal, and somehow it does not make it to the finger tips. The daily annonymous deed that was unusual was my surruptiously taking down out dated student event posters. The rest falls into what almost becomes habit - cleaning up after myself, clearing trash hazadous to slips and unsightly (I do feel for the custodian). Teaching students to pick up after themselves.
Generative conversation: What do you like about your life. Wow, I asked the computer techie this to discover she is retiring in two months after 35 years of service, age 58, with a history of being a principal - her listening for me and how I stand for what's possible for my student who has gone dissaray had depth, and having asked her that question revealed why. We got to know each other in a whole different way and I saw her as a for real person, beyond someone who fixes glitches.
Noise: I can see how I respond to noise immediately when I react with emotion, feel the blood rise to my face in teen power play and my racket of "I'm right" steps in. The moment it happens I know I've reached a place of discomfort and it is incomplete. I step outside with the student and get complete and create a relationship worth having. Thank you Landmark. Good one to collage for my racket.
The enrollment conversation is soooo not about noise. There is no room for it because it speaks to what is universal, touching, and human. I had an enrollment conversation about the impact Landmark has on my life, and it is all about being genuine and sharing so that the other can see something for themself. Resonance a way of connecting beyond noise.
Social calendar: Swing dance lesson, attending Rave live band with Coral this week. Will work on collage homework this weekend.
