gladiators

Today I worked in a school built especially for Aboriginal students with the idea of finding a more relevant and meaningful form of education through delivery methods geared specifically to these students. It was one of the nicest schools I've ever been into. The students were friendly and polite and welcoming... but the best part of all was the morning prayer song. The day began with a whole-school prayer circle and drumming and singing by students, teachers and elders. I was totally enchanted. I told the students how moved I was and they smiled at me like I was dumb but cute. I guess they hear it every day so to them it doesn't hold the same kind of power. For me, it was a blessing to start my day this way.
