Dreams are Heavy
Illustration by Siu Kaho, student of HKSC, for Cattle Depot bookfair
We have just finished the first school term, and preparing some playful ways to document the first 100 days in its history. The presentation of the project week last Saturday was an encouraging moment for both the students and the team, I guess. I was happy to see their sweat and tear because it showed they had a heart towards their works at least. Despite my exhausted body and mind.
Kind of nostalgic today, perhaps for the sudden heavy rain which isolates me with the (sound of) the outside world. And that's why I have left the accumulated works for this themeless blog entry... No, now I remember, we have just played "Dead Poets' Society"! Parts of it still haunt me deeply, the father and the son probably - that's the reality, while education depicts dreams, only.
The way Student K entered the staff room in a familiar gesture and waved goodbye this evening is fixed on my mind. I am proud of him, though others always tease about the funny side of his character. And emotionally I got involved with P today, about the hurdles he has to pass, which come too early for his age... Anyway. A day is too full. Dreams are heavy and sleeps are light.
