It is natural for humans to move toward the sources of joy. Humans gravitate to people, places and things they believe will bring them joy.
Students are no exception.
It is doubtful that youngsters spend much time analyzing the effects of their thoughts on the world. They do not consider the effects of others' thoughts. As aware teachers, administrators, supervisors and parents, recognizing that minds are joined, we become the makers of expanding joy. The grace we project is the grace we get. No matter what the drama of the present moment, we approach our teaching with the grace of calmness and the joy of possibility.
