Faces
Eric Robertson
I’ve been trying to look into people’s faces lately while remembering that everyone has a history. Everyone is in this same huge ship called humanity. I’m an elementary school teacher, and the blessed summer has given me time to reflect, something I often neglect in the rush and pressure of the school year. Tomorrow I return to school with the kids and I want to remember this reflection when I look at them and their parents. I want to take the time to hear them and let them be heard by others in my class. I want to ask myself what can wait so that I can take the time to hear my coworkers? What can wait so that I can make a human connection?
