The only thing missing is the pictures.
But here's the thing: I can't be present and take pictures at the same time. I know that other people can - in fact, the camera helps them to focus even more.
But not me.
(My hands shake.)
The only thing missing is the pictures - I can't PROVE to you how wonderful, how inspiring, how empowering the end-of-the-year stuff with students can be.
Thursday night: Writopia Lab workshop and Open Mic at the Mt. Kisco Library. These kids show me every day what it means to take risks, and how important writing is. They shone so bright and proved what community can do. I was so proud!
But, I didn't take any pictures, I was watching and listening too intently. Bearing witness.
Then straight to see my fabulous intern's senior presentation at her high school. She is off to college y'all. Done. (No pictures.)
Friday: my daughter Scarlett's dance "recital" with Dance Naiad. Now I know that you know that I love kids and I love their recitals no matter what, but this one blew me away - it was so professional. I had no idea. The older dancers - the teens - were not just excellent in their technique, they were true artists. They embodied the dance with passion and intensity that seemed beyond their years. They took my breath away.
But guess what? No pictures.
And no pictures this afternoon when I hosted another Writopia Lab Open Mic at a completely packed, standing room only Voracious Reader in Larchmont. Man.
Missing pictures. (Is that a metaphor for something else?)
No.
Life is awesomely beautiful and full of meaning.
The only thing missing is the (darn) pictures!
Léna is also a Regional Manager for Writopia Lab whose mission is to foster joy, literacy, and critical thinking in kids and teens from all backgrounds through creative writing.
"Well, the question is, what do you want to believe? Do you want to live in a world where things are possible, or in one where they aren't?" Cin, Edges.
I think there's a correlation between living very much in the moment and not taking pictures. Sometimes you're so busy enjoying life that you don't want to step back and document it.
ReplyDeleteNot so helpful for social media but hey, you've got the memories and your shared words make beautiful pictures. So, thanks for sharing! (and yes, Writopia's Open Mic event at our store last Saturday was truly amazing!)

Adelaide is home to many species of cockroaches, including the Australian, American and smaller German varieties. The latter can pose a risk to electrical appliances, which they can invade. Cockroach droppings are also hazardous to health and can trigger asthma attacks and allergies. It is usually necessary to undertake a fumigation treatment to eradicate cockroaches. Our team understands the need to get rid of cockroaches without endangering your health in the long-term. We use cockroach bait gels together with pesticide fumigation with a low toxic formulation.etc. شركة مكافحة النمل الابيض بالدمام شركة رش مبيدات بالدمام شركة مكافحة حشرات بالاحساء شركة مكافحة حشرات بالرياض+++ we wait you here شركة تنظيف منازل بالرياض شركة تنظيف مجالس بالرياض شركة تنظيف موكيت بالرياض شركة مكافحة حشرات بالرياض
