Dreams/ Träume

The participant who was the most grumpy and morose last week, reported learning success in class spontaneously. Yay! I listened to others who have been there longer. Words flow naturally, more correctly, spontaneously.

Language learning is happening. But more than that, we've begun to talk about real stuff. Yesterday, they came up with viable ideas for how to change the world. Wow! And I had information on how they could put their plans into action, if they want to. Synergy, passion, the power of a dream...All the things that make my heart throb. Yay!

Today's gonna be a great day. "We must be the change we wish to see." (Mahatma Ghandi?)
Hugs for Haiti.

Was ich an meiner Arbeit am besten mag ist, dass ich die Gelegenheit habe, über den blossen Spracherwerb hinaus mit den Klienten etwas zu erreichen. Leute nennen mich Träumerin, bzw. ich weiß selber, dass ich eine bin. Aber ich träume gross und infiziere andere mit dem Traumvirus.

Dann geschehen Dinge, wovon keine alleine zu träumen vermocht hätte. Gemeinsam sind wir zu soviel mehr fähig als eine alleine. Und gestern wurde das irgendwie klar. Hurra!

Vision

While everyone's mourning about Haiti and moaning about everything else, I'm tuning in to a much better picture. So bright it brings tears to my eyes. Sure, I've wept for my complicity. I knew Haiti was poor all along. I knew the situation was precarious. I pushed knowledge aside and went on living. Callously. But God knows, it was the only way to stay sane.

I wasn't ready for reality. But I am now. Or getting there. Rapidly. Whee! What a ride! People, do not despair. This phase is passing. And we've got a chance at much better things. Yay!
Thanks to David Riklan whose Selfgrowth videos and newsletter have accelerated my development. He's helping me get set to take on the world. So, roll over, whomever!

Es mag ein wenig grössenwahnsinnig sein, aber plötzlich dämmert's. Ich kann wirklich etwas für die Welt tun. Ich tue es bereits. Es läuft besser als gebuttert. Schwierig ist nur, es nicht ganz auszuplappern bevor die Zeit reif ist. Na ja. Man wird es erfahren. Ha! Ich freue mich so...
