Yesterday was a day of quiet recovery for me. After my draining trip to Washington with my students, I needed some time of tranquility and revival. I spent most of the day doing little more than “going with the flow”. I sort of drifted around, from my classroom to the park to a cozy restaurant with friends for dinner, just letting the energy of the universe carry me contentedly along. The weather was chilly and damp, but that didn’t trouble me at all. After trying to control 25 restive teenagers for four days, I wasn’t interested in controlling anything yesterday. I simply wanted to go where my life took me, and that’s exactly what I did.
