Obviously that is not true given you are reading one now so let me explain.
I have 40 children in my charge while I have a deadline for this piece. I just walked about our TOVO Lake Tahoe campus looking for a quiet place to craft this blog.
I found children playing billiards and joined the banter.
I found six playing soccer tennis in the parking lot.
Four shooting hoops.
Two doing laundry.
I found one playing piano so I stopped to listen and one taking a nap so I stopped in silence.
I made a choice.
I made a choice to abandon distant readers to be present for the child before me. One artist, one athlete, one musician at a time. I chose to listen, to lean in, and to learn.
And thus I wondered how many times have I prioritized a distant duty when the child before me needed me most.
I will not make that mistake today.
My apologies dear readers.
A child stands before me.
Until next Tuesday, then.
