Thanks, Inky. This was beautiful.
Not sure why it struck me this way but, unfortunately, it reminded me of my niece's teacher. She is constantly looking to see my niece fail at things. As if "catching" a gifted child being mediocre or even terrible at something, would invalidate her giftedness. Perhaps the teacher just never managed to overcome how she thinks about herself.
You're welcome and I'm glad other people find them as nourishing as I do. Hope your niece is able to recognize that this says more about her teacher than your niece.
