Derrida and Daisies

Sometimes a life-long goal is achieved not with a bang, but a whisper, slipping by as naturally as any other day.

I may only be an hourly-paid, part-time lecturer at the university, but today, the first lovely, warm, sunny Tuesday of Spring, I became who I always wanted to be.

Today, I taught my class outside: a circle of students in the daisies and dappled shade by the lake.

I always wanted to be that professor when I grew up. 5'2" isn't very tall, but I think I might be just about there.
