with all that’s in the news i have been feeling doomery abt human nature - intrusive thoughts in public places like, “in diff circumstances these normal people could be trying to kill each other” There is smth abt working with kids that is incredibly healing for this
today, [karim] came to school so sad. his lip quivered. he missed his mom. at morning meeting, we sang (to the tune of bingo), “there was a class that had a friend and karim was his name-o, CLAP CLAP karim, CLAP CLAP karim, we’re glad you’re here today!” & he cracked a smile!
augh man. We went around and sang the song for each kid. And there was something about hearing “we’re glad you’re here today!” that brought me to tears when was the last time I was that warm and loving to mySELF? the gentleness, the kindness, cracks me open
And when she sang the goodbye song “Goodbye, so long, farewell my friends, goodbye, so long, farewell / We’ll see, you soon, again, my friends so goodbye, so long, farewell” i almost cried. I didn’t WANNA say goodbye!!!! https://t.co/lyp7owvfkc
probably also why I cried a little watching Steve’s video https://t.co/BpqjIpfIAE
