The highlight of my week is leading fourth grade centering every Friday. Nine and ten year olds are teetering between the imaginal realms of childhood and the rational existence the grown-up world has created. My goal is to savor that imaginal realm as much as possible so they will still be able to access it after crossing the threshold into adulthood.

I want them to remember how to fly. We are exploring the element of AIR, so we became as light as air and went on a visualized journey hovering over the classroom, Rainbow Mountain, Asheville, and Earth. Do you remember being able to fly in your dreams as a child?
