-^-for posterity-^-

i taught again today. it was the first day in about four or five months and it was glorious.

i stood at center stage in front of my english literature class and talked about culture. what is your culture? where does it come from? how can we learn more about culture. by the end of the afternoon my hand was covered in chalk dust. my shirt was not tucked in correctly and i was generally a sweaty, happy mess.

it's beautiful to stand in front of a room and talk to people about ideas they don't often think about. it's wonderful to get the wheels turning. you influence, you guide. it's really a beautiful power-trip.
