Thinking tonight...

Thinking tonight--but looking at the birds flying south--I could not escape our class today, and I just don't know what to think. But I do think that I am rushing, that I am not listening closely enough to you, that I am panicking because I am not worthy of the offering that are your thoughts...whatever, the case maybe, I wanted to let you know that I would truly love to hear from you about your thoughts regarding our time in American Studies and what I can do better as a teacher--as a person who prepares the initial questions that set our dialogues in motion. 

On a blogging note, I would encourage to you to do the following--or I give you the following for clarity's sake:

1.) I think it would be beneficial to look up the word holy.

2.) If you are looking for a length, I would say between 400-600 words, I don't know how you would be able to dig into a question successfully with less.

3.) Write with your heart and edit with your head.

4.) Something you feel will find its own form.

A lost thought from The Miracle of Castel di Sangro:

"Years have gone by and I have finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football. I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: 'A pretty move, for the love of God.'

And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don't give a damn which team or country performs it."

I will end by simplifying the offering: I am beggar for good writing, for rich ideas, so I stretch out my ideas and plea, ONE GOOD MOVE...and I thank you in advance for the miracle which will be your insight.

With thanks and gratitude,

AK
