No sleep.
I didn't sleep tonight (from yesterday to today), thinking about the earthquake that hit China and Zaire, and about the maya civilization prophecies that tell the live in the world can end in 2012. I thought about some mistakes and things did right that made possible that i could have thoughts...
I went to school without having any sleep at all, I had a schedule, and nothing ended up the way I planned. IN fact, it's very common, despite what people think, that we which work in public education departments usually have to do a lot of things as fast as possible to complete our schedule. I start to do somehing and someone calls me. I was only a philosofy theacher, but now i'm a coordenator, and my job seems to be mind people needs and mediate.
A lot of changes have been occuring and sometimes we get a little lost.
However, i placed a text in the pannel the other day, thinking about cheering up everyone. "The eagle and the chicken" by Leonardo Boff. There is shown the situation of a farmer used to routine. He raised chicken, and someday, he found an eaglet in a nest. But since he's never been out of his farm, he didn't know what an eagle was, nor even what kind of bird was that. So, he raised the eagle with the other chickens, until a naturalist found it and, noticing that is was not a chicken, took it to the open fields so it could fly. The eagle was not secure enough to fly, missing the protection of the poultry yard, where it has food whenever it wants. Then, the naturalist took it to a high mount and threw the bird without thinking twice. The eagle thought it would die, but it flew.
From the highs he saw the poultry yard, very small on the ground so far, and it noticed that it was a waste of time, being locked up there.
So, is the whole of a teacher being this boring naturalist? the one who recognizes an eagle, or some eagles and make them fly without question?
No human being was designed to look down the floor and eat seeds, while it has the possibility to reach the skies.
