is different than mine right now. Find out what you can influence and test your boundries. It can only happen immediately though. Now. It's the only job we have, to expand our sphere of influence purposefully. And every transition is proof of your sphere of influence.

Motionless, directionless, focus-less
Fear grasps at polluted air--
Unless and until focus, direction and motion
take hold. Then the relief through change.
Comes a transition every time you move--
which for a moment replaces fear, who nevertheless
may call again soon.
You have been given a lifetime supply of that body in the mirror. So literally, until you are dead, you are in charge of that! But WAIT. Whose body do you see in the mirror?Well, you might answer--"MY body of course." Who just said that? Who just claimed the body to belong to THEM? The body is separate from the mind, and that is what I'm getting at.
There is a YOU that is different than that changing body in the mirror. You exist in more than your body. There is greatness in you that lives on and on, unchanged while the body does it's crazy growing, changing, dying thing.
When you understand this, you know you have this current body for a limited time, and yet there is a wise, timeless self that is you, too, that can guide you well. So let's begin to enjoy this trip. Be grateful you have a body to experience life through.
You get to decide....who will you love? What will you change, how will you live? Who gets to be a part of your world? Your choice!
After we enter the world from inside our mother, we don't spend time worrying about "what if I should have stayed in there? I've never done this before, what if I can't do it?", and thank goodness!. We just start breathing, and go from there. We learn, we grow, we survive, and I would like to see all of us take the next step above surviving, and THRIVE!

Hello students! I am taking a 'leap of faith' here and showing you the first step in my learning. I am your 12th grade English teacher, I have earned a Master's Degree in Education, a Bachelor's degree in Language Arts with a minor in Reading, and an Associates of Arts and Science. I have twenty years of experience reading with, to and for students like yourself, and guess what? THIS IS MY FIRST (first. yes, I said FIRST) introduction to Gilgamesh!
As always, in order to be able to teach it, I must learn it, and THIS is my first step--I do this before I read the actual text because for me, I will understand the text MUCH better with the background. If you would like it read aloud to you with perfect pronunciation, by a teacher who already understands the story, DON'T listen to this.
I am posting this so you can understand that no matter how much you learn, there is always more; and it is always a little awkward when you first interact with it. So, if you dare to hear me learning, and you need help with Gilgamesh, listen!
