Yesterday I taught a class without speaking. It was both fun and interesting, especially fun because my regular students make me laugh so much. After my initial thoughts amd feelings about suddenly finding myself a mute teacher and wondering how many things the universe can pile on before a person gives up, I had an epiphany. My world is completely propped up by my tribe and they are mighty. From friends through to students and family. When the world, the people in it or even my own vocal chords work against me, my people show up ready to ride at dawn.
Just before the class, I threw up the proverbial finger and thought stuff you, "go eat dirt universe", I'm going to get through this, my people will see to it...and they did, with gusto. Guessing almost every instruction, hand gesture, lip reading and face gesture with intuitive meaning. My people are beautiful humans, they stand in my corner time and time again. They are the honey. Thank you to all my people, you are the best.
