An inspirational experience that inspired a poem (1:19 minutes). The impact of teaching a 10 year old autistic boy in verse.
Paid subscriptions at a new reduced price:
To be blinded by the light,
but to see in the day.
To see pure logic
in the face of irrationality.
To be angry
with the childish behaviour of others, but calm
in the embrace of adult discussion.
To excel in Maths
and aim for the law.
To show no emotion
until Vesuvius-like it bursts.
To be enchanted by the power of music.
In short
To be different.
To see the world differently.
Nay, to see the world as it is
without the frills and niceties of human culture;
illogical human culture,
which blinds us from correct action
and replaces it
with what we "ought to do".
Wow! What an experience.
To be with someone who is entirely genuine.
Thank-you for the morning.
I was the student.
I learnt from you.
