School's Back In Session

Into the first couple days of September..... Did summer ever happen? I feel like it got skipped over. First day of school was yesterday, experienced some whiplash with already tending to troubled high school kids.  If 7 d/a suspensions sets the tone for the intensity of this school year- yipes. The last 3 years have seemed to harvest more stressed, complex youth- my work with them has been the most intense it's ever been in the 11 years I've served. I think they're feeling the effects of an ever changing world consciousness that shifts financial institutions, family consciousness, consciousness of the entire planet. Kids are so very sensitive. I really feel for them and am glad I can be put in a place where I can be of service to them. Be it, a school setting that deals with a bureaucracy, but I do my best to focus on the kids that I see. My heart seems to be growing more tender these days too though. I can feel sad at all the fear that exists amongst us and yet understand how it serves the purpose of being a catalyst to transform the way we view and think about things. Times are a changen' for sure. I think we all need to support each other as we adapt to the many changes taking place. It isn't easy being human sometimes. We all have our struggles from time to time. Life is a roller coaster ride with it's lows and highs! It's how well we are able to let go during the ups and downs to continue a fluid state. Fluidity- the master key to everyday living.
