Today I went and taught a music class to preschool and infant kids at SafePlace Austin. SafePlace is shelter for abused mothers and their children. I brought Short Stack along not quite knowing what to expect. She found her first 'play with Barbie' experience and subsequently didn't have any use for me or my culture ploy.
Of course I'm lucky. Of course these kids are a joy. The teachers, mindbogglingly inspiring.
Today I am reminded of the words of the immortal Gena Rowlands- there is always someone prettier and always someone not quite as pretty as you. To which I add- there is always someone more fortunate and someone not as fortunate as you.
Get over your artisitic blocks if you have any today. Girl, you got it pretty good.
