Teaching With Magic

Teaching With Magic -for Clelia “Reach down into your soul and write it in blood.” I told them. “Poetry is liquid emotion flowing on the page through the elegant ritual of language…” I explained “When you take the risk of exposing your soul you will touch other souls…” I promised and then… I held my breath… and worried as all teachers do… that I had gone too far promised too much But then… the magic filled the air and the student wrote… filling the void with tearful words of pain splendid imagery and brilliant voice weaving a mystical tapestry of words magically changing the world and transforming the teacher into the student!
