Anacrusis #17: Days of Future Past
Graduation time makes me feel prophetically nostalgic.
Just went to a graduate party last night in Saudi Arabia and saw my seniors dressed to the nines doing imitations of their teachers, looking innocently excited/scared at the future; and I saw glimpses of the men and women they would become.
Today I received an email about the long-anticipated debut novel of a former student and flashbacked to those wonderful evenings spent grading (read: treasuring) her nascent talent.
It seems none of them arrive at the place they started heading for, but I love it when my English-teacher-sense tingles and life makes sense.
