The Bus Stops in Belarus


Remember my dream that I was painting or drawing flowers on walls and places where people stare at when sad or when drowned with thoughts that would not leave them?

Here is something I discovered today while I was looking for something to inspire me.  Indeed, our thoughts can change the world, and our words can move it but our heart can make a thought and a word create a beautiful result.  Let me show you the bus stops in Belarus here.

A priceless find

We often ask ourselves at the end of the day, what for is all these? 

 I thought that I had been hogging this beautiful letter for such a long time now.  here is to share with comrades of the trade.

 As I have witnessed my students grow,  their parents grew before my eyes too.  Some came with nothing but dreams and hopes for their children.  Others came with plans and a handful of expectations.  The wiser of the lot know that their children will benefit more from discovering themselves through the challenges that they meet growing up in a school.  In the end, everyone would agree that we can destroy our child's life plan if we meddle too much.






We live our lives in full view of our students or children. Without words, we teach through example. Perfection is not a prerequisite.  the desire to be and to reach the ultimate good would be more than enough. 




And if we still believe as parents that our child's path should be lined with roses, and the air they breathe must be infused with perfume, then maybe we are not being realistic.  We can perhaps close our eyes without a heaving sigh but rather with a contented smile if we know that our child can wipe the sweat upon his brows and be alright to face himself once again when the morning comes.

thank you.  it was a pleasure having your child join our trip to a better world.

Witch"s Brew

I am brewing in my cauldron something you are not to know yet.  It started with an idea I had some three years back.  Things seem to unfold.  Am I being shoved to this?  Oh well, if this is going to make me old and wrinkled, I am not going to buy it!  I need resources!  I need people!  I need money!!!  Ideas, I have plenty.  Too many I have to trim them down.  Well somethings are offered on a silver platter.  Others are offered by the changing times.  Some are fruits of dreams and imaginings, others are as real as wine.  Aging it.

can you read my mind?

you will never know...
Ta-ta!
