Session One: Welcome!
I. Wil:
logistics
goals
II. Anne:
introduction to the rock--and to ourselves
What do you see, when you look @ this rock?
What do our stories say about our attitudes toward change?
Introduce yourself, with a short story about some change you made--
or chose not to make--in your teaching or learning or life . . . .
III. Some other perspectives:
The story of the making/selecting/use of
the photo of the faulted-shale limstone
commemorative block....
Two Poems by Andrea Friedman
One by Ovid (Metamorphosis, 1-8 A.C.E.):
...the earth and all therein, the sky
And all thereunder change and change again,
We too ourselves, who of this world are part,
Not only flesh and blood but pilgrim souls....
And one by Octavia Butler
(Earthseed: The Books of the Living, Parable of the Sower, 1993):
All that you touch
You Change.
All that you Change
Changes you.
The only lasting truth
Is Change
God
Is Change.
