Classroom Talk: 4/9/2023 - We can keep running through our day -- rushing to get to where the next thought tells us we need to be -- or we can work to let these painful impulses pass into, and through us; there is no other choice: either we're awake, and aware of the presence of this "demanding self" -- watchful, and willing to die to its dark will -- or we're caught in its draft, in a painful race going nowhere fast.
