Synthesizing "A Head Taller"

Many days I finish a teaching day or walk out of one of my classes feeling so beaten. I have tried to keep my mind and my heart open to the content presented or I have tried to stay open to what the students give me, but at the end of the day I am drained. Those are the days I know have not been a great teacher or a great student. But then there's days when I walk out of class with a pep in my step. The trip home leaves me flowing with many ideas of how I can build programs, improve my teaching, how I can be a better student, how I can be a better person. That's when I know I have achieved Flow.

I'm singing along to my play list and coming up with solutions to problems I have pondered over for weeks. I wish I could have this high all the time. I wish I knew how to give my students this high when I teach. Music has the power to transform us, but that doesn't happen when don't allow for Flow to happen.
