I am counting my blessings. Which has, over the last few days, made me realize how little I really know about anything. I am working on willing myself not to be afraid or ashamed about it.
I do not know how to change the past. Or how to predict the future. I don't know the best way to plan for security. I don't understand the decisions of my children. I don't know if my decisions are much better. I don't know how I forget what I can and can't control. I don't know how I got so lucky. I don't know what is going to happen next, when the shoe will fall and when this will end. And I worry over how my kids will ever grow strong and self satisfied. How will they find their place in the world? Why didn't I, why couldn't I do that for them? Often I catch myself being judgmental or being envious, and I really have no place for that! I have made drastic mistakes and I must lead a charmed life. It is all beyond my comprehension.
There are those who know and those who know they do not know. Which are you?

I am starting a small series of up to 50 paintings, inspired by the Easter season, that intend to affirm the presence of joy in this world.
I am passing on to you the Kreativ Blogger Award because I love how you share what you do with your students. You have great ideas too. I have never met you and found your site be surfing somehow, so imagine the lucky people that get to interact with your inspiration directly.
ReplyDeleteI am an artist and teacher too.
You can pick up the baton by visiting my blog and pass it on:
