I am a husband, writer, and teacher exploring what it means to cultivate mental silence.

My day...

My day...I killed a wasp flying around in my room... Helped escort a student in crisis out of a colleague’s classroom without incident... Shared my wife's famous breakfast casserole (for the third year in a row) at the annual volunteer breakfast... And broke up a fight (not my class) in the hall at dismissal while attempting to get my students to their buses safely. Oh...I taught ask day too!

Insight Timer and box breathing...

Just when I was ready to give up on this day...
