A Canoe or Kayak

Some days it feels like you are floating down stream but there is a hindrance, an obstacle. The canoe is struggling to go straight. It's bumping into rocks, sand bars, getting caught in river vortex. It requires two, rowing on opposite sides to keep it moving forward. The moment one stops the rhythm- the canoe goes in a circle.

Often these days we are finding it hard as educators to row on both sides, to keep the balance. So we feel entangled in a current both swirling and tumultuous.

We switch to kayak's sometimes. Where it is a more even keeled cadence. Where we feel balanced and in sync. Where the flow carries us lightly and smoothly. But this kayak is heavy, and often we resort to the canoe. We expect an easy ride but exhaustion slows us down.

But, we need both canoe and kayak

Frenzy and excitement and comfortability and calm. 

I hope you find both.
