Stalwart Pioneers: Transformative Educating

Dear Colleagues & Stalwart Pioneers,

Liberal Art

        (Transformative Educating)

          Not to be collapsed,

          conflated and

          confused with

          the liberal arts,

          we major

          & minor in.,

Let us Bray

We should be fighting amongst each other

on a regular  ongoing basis:  putting IT in

play—the opposing and appropriately

hostile aspects of The Business

Do I need to spell these out?

Imagination vs Knowledge

Creativity vs  Tradition

Innovation vs Rigor

Playboy vs. Puritan

(Fooling around vs Reformation)

Amateurism vs. Professionalism

Process vs. Product ….

(What Dr. Hawkins calls The 2 Economies:

house divided so as to  make some eco-

logical virtue. Choose your team

you can’t “serve” both.)

If we are doing our job right

we are crucified, dead and

buried  time after time so

to speak, rising every

3^rd day to sit on the

right hand of God

in a manner of

speaking.

If you stand right fronting and face to face

to a fact, you will see the sun glimmer on

both its surfaces, as if it were a cimeter,

and feel its sweet edge dividing you

through the heart and marrow,

and so you will happily

conclude your mortal

careerism..
 
Be it life or death, we crave only reality.
If we are really dying, let us hear the rattle
in our throats and feel cold in the extremities;
if we are alive, let us go about our business.
