joy

Joy is a feeling.

I explained that racecar is the same word spelt backwards and got a class full of korean students stunned.

Lylla-my shyest, most petite student- played "Wonderwall" by Oasis for me on her guitar. I never expected that. "I practiced all vacation, so I could play it for you", she said.

I got my after-school class to write their own Bucket List. The best one being " I want to eat all the items on the menu at my favourite cafe"- Jay seemed to have thought this one through. I hope she does do it, and that cheese cake is on the menu.

I finally understood the meaning of "subjectivity" and "inter-subjectivity" and realised the latter is only truly felt when the former is held and suspended, considered, acknowledged and finally accepted.

Today I felt joy.
