When dreams come so vividly
not a flash of a dream but full and real
I was in a mixed media class one day
and the next day was told that our class was mooved
because of remodeling
Out of habit (or MS) I went to the class,
and found it full of pre-schoolers and some adult "aides"
I realized my mistake and headed to the new
"substitute" class room
ick
small and dark and crowded
TO ME the other classroom was too large for the pre-schoolers
Flash to the next scene and I am talking with the adults in the
pre- school room
A cell phone rings with a catchy toone, and my knees start bopping
(as my knees will do)
As cell phones should be turned off in this case
I motioned for the woman to leave it ringing
and continued to talk
until I caught the eye of a child
staring at me
while I bopped to the ring tone
I turned to the room, and the children were bopping
JUST LIKE ME
OMG = I am teaching dance again...
Flash again and my MIXED MEDIA class was back
in the big bright room
And I am bopping with the preschoolers in the bright
sunny atrium of the school - perfect life once again
I started out my social "career" working in an early ed program when my oldest was just about 2 years old, and it was in the un-used basement of an elementary school that was in walking distance of my house.
In the course of years that I worked in that program I got certified in Aerobic Dance and had always "danced" as a child... that was my creative outlet.
I was a partner in a DANCE school in the years I was a stay at home mom, but I wasnt staying at home, I was dancing and dragging my 2 little girls to my dancing school...
that was a dream time in real time
