Play and Be Played; School and Be Schooled

Dear Colleagues Across the Curriculum


It's not what or how much we know that counts
these laptop dancing days --but whether we can
 put it  in play.  Yes? 


(IT, I said. Do I always got to be spelling it out?)
Need we argue?  I wish we could. We haven't advanced
that far yet as faculty, cultural lag lagging behind our
finger tip access ability. 

Tokens galore.  Topics, subject-matter, content makes no
never minding: it's the  play that counts. How else get
better and good  at it?

In the old days we had a wonderful 3 - 4 day chatter
about shrimp--whether to serve it at the end-of-school
faculty dinner on not. Reasons pro and con.  And  before
that: good sessions re video games and parking

Content don't matter. Whatever.
It's the action that counts.  Whether
we can put IT in play--or not. Bray together.

Do I repeat myself?  I am  large.
I contain  pulchritude.

Convention can bring sufficiency, but beyond its walls,
beyond “the structures we erect in such glorious and
proud detail,
lies a spiritual plenitude that human structures
necessarily obscure.
n fact, it is because this fullness lies
beyond design that Krishna’s
revelation must come through
disruption
