Thinking

I'm on holiday break from teaching, and had big plans to be creative.  This is my little pile I have been working on. (I have a big pile that I am not working on, but not showing it at this time.) Well my big plans to create have not been so big.  Mostly I am thinking.  Looking and thinking.  I had a student a few years ago that would sit staring into space for 45 minutes or more after I gave him an assignment.  When I asked him if he needed help he would say, "No, I am thinking."  I thought he would never finish his classes, but he did.  Now I am the one who is thinking.
