When i sit with students, i do not just want to help them solve their problems. i want to find a moment with each person where their mind stops and their eyes open. i want us to be together as if we were lying in a field on the underside of the earth on a clear summer night, held only by the magnet of gravity, looking down into a bottomless sea of stars. i want us to remember together the beauty all around us.
