Bright sparks

You may not have noticed, but yesterday here in Colac, it was windy . Primary school teachers sure knew. The kids were wild as they often are when the weather is like this .  They all seem to turn into little Van Degraff generators; ready to spark or repelling everything around them . All three classes were the same .
Managed to get them focused on their ideas of " what's amazing" These 9 YO's came up with "Taken 2, videogames , friends, animals, stars , the human body and the inevitable in each class --"I am" .
 Told them the story of how the warring Maori tribes on north island of NZ in 1800's took a the gospel of Luke in their own language to the south island before any white missionaries arrived there  (now that's amazing)- and how so many Islanders now share flowers not weapons.( daisy chain they like making)
One kid pipes up out of the blue " your amazing" --now I was like a big Van dergraff generator . Later that day one guy paid me (OCRFM)  a three figure sum to promote himself on radio. I thought later , no amount of money would get someone to say what that kid said to me that day. Its a really foul wind that doesn't blow some good into our lives . Keep at it
