| A Hard Day's Work by Steve Huston |
Somewhat apropos to the thoughts from
last week's post,
Robert Louis Stevenson, writer of -- among other things --
Treasure Island and
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, had this to say:
"And yours is
not the less noble because no drum beats before you
when you go out to your daily battlefields, and no
crowds shout your coming when you return from
your daily victory and defeat."
Everyone needs a little bit of heroism to make it through the day, sometimes, and all the more so to make the world work in little ways. This sort of heroism is often invisible, something I'm reminded of frequently, as I work with teachers and watch them struggle toward their daily victories (and defeats).
