‘The Lie

Comments

Still working on this one:

I have found true solace and purpose in my work for nearly ten years . . . and now I find myself caged.

I am not having the best time - past (personal) stress and immediate (professional)stress are threatening my fragile mental state . . . I am working through it (badly) - in my class room we are the same as we ever were . . . Me leaping about and waxing lyrical about words on pages and film text and 'camera' and poetry and all that stuff and my students being mostly unimpressed and then being caught by an idea and talking back to me and being full of opinions (I'd rather they express ideas) . . . I like those moments most of all.

But I am so much better off than I was - a good thing ;)

Aw sweetie, I did not know what to say about the library thing. And so I was silent. This is beautifully written, and so very very sad. I hope writing it out made you feel better.

Thank you dearest

It made me feel much better. I am still active in my school library (little steps are better than no steps).

This outbreak is something about control - I don't accept control very well or exert it but then I find I must do both if I wish to continue to teach.

I am trying to rearrange my world view without losing what made it worthwhile in the first place.

This sounds sooo sad.
Is there anything I can do for you, sweetie?

Thank you dear Jul.

I'll sort it out or not.
