I had an expected number of deep conversations today. Some were with my students, some with my coworkers, some with family, and some with members of my church. The topics varied. Among them included discussions about book banning, politics in school decisions, the positive and negative qualities of our first President, the differences between fact and truth, how much humanity has or has not changed over time, discrimination based on sexual identity, digital citizenship, the dangers of hypocrisy, and how to hold the attention of youth in today's society.
All of them provoked my mind to deeper levels of thinking. In some, I was the instigator, in others a participant, in others just a listener. In some people left thoughtful, in others frustrated, in others consoled, and yet others angry. While only a few of these conversations came to some sort of resolution, they were all worth having. I do not feel that I could do any of them justice at the moment.
My mind feels full.
