Doodle of a special place



Here is a drawing I made of my little organizing home - it's a very special building where lots of organizations meet to plan. It feels like the office lives and breathes. It's been around for a really long time. The couple who owns it bought it for this purpose - they are old hippies themselves. They rent it to all the groups for really cheap. Anyway I went to a training this weekend there so I doodled the space while I took some notes. It was a nice meditation on how places can viscerally make you feel hugged.

In the same ways my friends who have children are struggling to think about child rearing as there are SO many opinions about the best and most harmful things to do...it's the same with my struggle in teaching... wars of different ideologies and also little sound bytes about how to be the best educator running contrary to each other. Trying to find myself in it all and what I think how can I make my internal monologue coherent and cohesive? How can I fight the control machine and let people be thems...
