Come on, people, now it's time to go, go to where a man can dwell (Arlo Guthrie)



Wie geht's?

I'm dipping into Maktub again for this one...

In the Bible...it's God who commands Moses: "Tell the children of Israel to go forward." And only once they have started moving does Moses raise his staff and divide the Red Sea, because only by having the courage to follow a path will the path reveal itself.

This is also the message delivered by Natalie in an episode of Monk, when she says, "Jump and the net will appear". And it's an indirect link to Joseph Campbells' 'Follow Your Bliss' aphorism.

I love this idea, and I've loved the last two weeks of going back to teaching English. One week at Woodford House, and this week at Hastings Boys' High School, where I'll be for the rest of the year. 

Being part of an English department again has proven to me anew what a wonderful bunch of people English teachers are. So helpful, so warm, and so much fun.

This is the current path, and it also explains why we keep failing to win Lotto.

Love and peace - Sir
