Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech
I'm going to see an art exhibit with an 88 year old friend. She used to teach my youngest in kindergarten and first grade. She convinced me to teach art in her class, and then the principal offered me a job teaching all 13 classes and I had two years of creativity, fun and hard work. Being enthusiastic about art has never been a problem for me. And three of my four kids were art or art history majors as undergrads, and all are artists, though only one has a job in the art field. I'm itching to enthuse my grandkids now. The three year old likes art museums, the ten year old is very creative and likes to see art, and the two year old, well, he does do water color painting for 3 or 4 minutes at a time. Art has been my spiritual advisor, soul balm and engaged me with history and cultures. My art book collection attests to my passion. So I will enjoy myself today. And with a mentor by my side.

Very sweet tribute to a teacher, students, children and our all encompassing immersion in Art as homo sapiens
