What sometimes restores my faith in "being human" are the thoughts, remarks, and energies of my students. Whether they are in their 20's or pushing 50, they bring a common sense to their discussions, a willingness to be open, and an understanding that "life is not exactly as their parents, or the media" portray it.
These students continue their own quests for life, affection, happiness, health and joy with a common sense approach to all things physical or spiritual. One cannot help, as a teacher, absorbing and growing from such magnanimous love for life. I appreciate every day the quenching of my own thirst for life in theirs.
