Where the mind is without fear

It is easy to get into the slump, that grey space where nothing thrives. In this space, I can drag my feet from day to day and allow the negative attitudes to erode my spirit.
Today after school, a colleague came in to see me with a question. A little of this and that and then we came to the important matter of the winter concert. I have long been a great admirer of Gurudev Tagore's work and although speaking and understanding Bangla is my aspirational goal, I enjoy reading the translations. When faced with the literature of Gurudev, an artist and philosopher of such immense stature, one can't help but be inspired.
My students will do the rest. One sentence at a time, we will hold our heads high.
