Firstly, I have to say that Bob Biter is frigging amazing.
Same for NGdawg.
Now, here's my entry...
The weight of his head nestled in his hands, a now familiar pose. The weight.
Working so hard, so many years, teaching was all he ever wanted to do. Even this class, these "challenged learners," he knew he could work with them.
Still he felt the weight. The weight of a dozen empty minds, barely filled, but heavy on his mind.
One last glance at the quotation on his wall, and he will try again. Not for the last time, just for another time.
"Properly, we should read for power. Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one's hand."
Ezra Pound knew the strength of knowledge when he wrote those words.
It's this strength lifts him up off the desk to face the classroom.
Weightless.
Peace,
Pierre
