why I teach...

“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains.

The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” 

(William Arthur Ward)

" The best kind of feeling tired...?

When you know you have done your day's work and you

have poured all of your soul, essence & being into it.

And, in the process

(if you are really lucky & blessed)

you share that passion and fire

with a room full of strangers; who

(through this process of learning from each other,

student teaching teacher, teacher inspiring student)

become new friends,

not just with you but each other.

And they in turn become a part of

that very same fire called art, another piece of the

creative revolution & cultural (ex)change.

And this, dear reader, is why I teach.

And (after nearly twenty-five years) I still enjoy it!! "
