Life as kindergarten

I spent two back to back afternoons teaching Karina’s kindergarten class. 

It was obvious after the first 10 minutes that the rest of society could learn something from this experience. They were true mirrors of the energy I exuded, and I brought my ‘A’ game.

Everyone was excited. Excited to see me. Excited to see each other. Excited to share about everything.

They all wanted me to join them. Join their play. Join their craft. Join their lunch table.

Inclusion 101.

We moved our bodies, danced to music, learned a little about some new shapes called ‘letters’, and sang a ton of songs. 

No ego, no fear, no self judgement.

Each day ended with enthusiastic smiles and hugs of gratitude.

“Mr. Miller, I'll see you tomorrow!” Came one cheerful goodbye.

“Oh I won’t be here tomorrow, I’ve got another job to do.” 

“That’s OK, I will see you tomorrow”, his unwavering hope countered, as he headed off undeterred. 

Real life needs a lot more Kindergarten.

• Now that’s a peak ethos.
