A thought went up my mind to-day
by Emily Dickinson
A thought went up my mind to-day
That I have had before,
But did not finish,–some way back,
I could not fix the year,
Nor where it went, nor why it came
The second time to me,
Nor definitely what it was,
Have I the art to say.
But somewhere in my soul, I know
I’ve met the thing before;
It just reminded me–‘t was all–
And came my way no more.
I’ve been AWOL for a few days refining our new clinic website and dealing with various demons and dragons showing up on the doorstep. One of the things about working with links and webby things are the rabbit holes I end up falling into. Somehow a YouTube of the Muppets Movie lead me this one: An interview with Jim Parsons, the actor who plays Sheldon Cooper, a physicist, on the TV show The Big Bang Theory.
Sheldon Cooper, quirky and brilliant, is fascinating – an irritating, compelling portrait of rational over-drive welded to self-defined realities that are seemingly impervious to the salve of relationships. In the interview, Parsons explains how the character works and its power as a lesson in modelling tolerance.
What? Irritating people as teachers?
We should look in the mirror. Bazinga!
Have a wonderful weekend!
