simple is the time

simple is the life

that's waiting

Just wait. What a beautiful, simple, and complex message.

About ivonprefontaine

I have been an educator for almost 20 years. Prior to that, I worked in private industry for 15 years, then returned to university to earn my education degree. For the past 11 years, I have been a co-creator of learning in a unique, progressive, alternative educational school of choice. Currently, I am engaged in a doctoral program at Gonzaga University in Spokane. A main theme in my learning there has been the roles of systems thinking, complexity theory, and organizational theory, and how they apply to education generally and the learning environment I share with students, parents, and colleagues.

    I agree that they live simple lives by our understanding. My view of their daily lives is perhaps a bit different than yours, my friend. Rather than waiting, I see birds and many other living things doing, moving, building, preparing, wooing, mating, hatching, feeding, watching, resting, eating, singing. Living.

      Perhaps the two work together. Waiting and living become inseparable perhaps? I love the way you brought many other living things into the picture. They live and wait so differently than humans.
