I have plunged in.  The book is now being read to my students.

"One more chapter!" they plead.

Maybe they want one more chapter; maybe they just want to avoid Math.

Whatever the case, we have finished three chapters together and their attention is fully on my words, my journey.

I am opening up.  I guess I just needed to wait for the right time.  For me to have confidence that someone would actually want to hear.

"The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a tellar but for want of an understanding ear.”
