In a corporeal internship...

(Since we're on this topic today...)


For all the things
I've taken for granted,
For all the things
Never thought about
Here's to the seeds and wings you've planted
And to the room you've left for doubt...

very nice
  makes you think of things once lost and of the life you must lead inorder not to forget the insignificant things that really do matter

Pretty much, Jonathon -- I wrote this spontaneously for my philosophy teacher on the last day of class, back in college, on the last page of my test, since I was impressed with her teaching.

Mark, interesting thoughts. The only professor I have any deep memory and appreciation for is my philosophy teacher. He is a brilliant man and phenomenal teacher. I think any others were pale in comparison. Glad to see you had a special one, too.

I'm happy to say that I've had more than one, but I know what you mean, Sandra -- great teachers are few and in between.
