I am your teacher.

The best learning is designing and enacting experiences which will consume and exhume us. The best of these is like a great feast. You can't get enough of all the good things to devour. The best of these experiences also brings new life and vigor to dormant or deadened parts of ourselves. We sometines need to awaken suddenly and force march to places we've never been before with the urgency that we know we are late but we hope to get there as soon as possible.

The problem with school and education is we think teachers should do this great and dirty work for us. But I don't do great and dirty work like that. That is for the teacher within you. I am just here to invite you to the feast and whisper from time to time, "Wake up."
