Ordinary Or Unordinary?
In a dialogue with a prominent educator with an interest in spirituality and self awareness in education I recently recommended Sharon Marson's wonderful The Wisdom of A Starry Night. This work combines open ended questions about oneself and one's feelings in order to help students "become better at allowing a newfound vision to emerge and at gaining access to their personal awareness." The combination of the paintings and the words, facing each other on parallel pages "creates opportunities for both halves of the brain to be activated and to communicate.
In his response, this kind hearted pedagogue mentioned the works of Carla Kimball. On her website Ms. Kimball presents photos she took and a question under each photo. I'm thinking of posting her photos and questions. I like it better without an intro, so in the future it will just be a question and a photo and a hat tip to Carla Kimball.

When have you paid attention to the most ordinary of things
and seen them in a different light?

Thank you so much for suggesting my book to an educator and for the kind accolades. The release of, "The Wisdom of a Starry Night" was a very fun time for me. Thanks Neil for bringing it to the fore once again.
