The Human Touch

With spring in the air and the earth in my hands, I’m reminded of the power of the human touch. We discard debris and remove the refuse, allowing the green growth to surface. Bringing with it, new levels of appreciation for our senses. Here's a photo of our garden.

This change of season in the garden state is my favorite time of year. Even with itchy eyes and all of the demands of art shows and deadlines, I’m invigorated by the exchange of energy and the growth of everything around (and inside) me.

As educators, we witness growth in our students everyday, as they learn new skills and develop the courage to push through the layers of their own perceived obstacles. With the human touch, they are able to grow in all directions, and so are we. The very best part of our job is that it’s like spring all year long!

Quality education will always be stronger than the dirt (or the piles of manure) that get in the way.
