Things I've noticed lately. I like the word, notice.
One of Jim's students wrote him a week ago:
Dear Professor. I just noticed I received a D.
He just happened to notice.
And in the noticing, no doubt, he wished he could no longer notice.
But still, he is only noticing.
As if he is a mere observer. Even a distant observer.
And the D is like a bird that landed on his windowsill.
Who can say why? Or know how some things land as they land.

this made me chuckle out loud
students often "notice" these sort of things
it may just be the curmudgeonization process that i have subscribed to
but i find that a lot of folks experience life as if it is being done to them against their will.
