Mysti makes me laugh, and think, and write instead of work. Today, I am pondering my existence. Am I really here? Do I exist? I teach, therefore I am an arcane symbol of a tired system of education with no real autonomy or power of independent thought? Maybe I fell down the rabbit hole when I was seven, and this is Wonderland. If I could only find the hole, I might get myself some gear and claw my way back to the surface, the reality where colors may be muted, but no one is trying to chop off my head. Move down, move down, it's my unbirthday! Coffee may not exist up there, though. Imagine a world where mugs of steaming bean juice don't call out, "Drink me!" Sure, I can't always fit in my office after a cup or two, but as long as I remember to open the windows and door first....Maybe I'll stay. Amice
