After the testing
After writing in silence
Just space and shadows

seat themselves, prepared to take
phantasmal finals.

Ralph said...: It is not all empty space. The building is, of course. But not the minds of your charges - the exam has allowed them to leave full of a knowledge they may have not had at the beginning of the process. An empty mind is not the result we want, a full one is quite satisfying...; December 6, 2009 11:53 AM
Hey Harriet said...: That's a pretty class room. The ones from my school days were much more cold and sterile looking. A lovely shot! Hey so you must be on holidays now? Or at least shortly! I'm sure you look forward to that end of year break :); December 6, 2009 2:37 PM
Sweet Repose said...: Sounds like you're winding down sweet friend, hope you aren't working too many long hours still. We will be moving our shop AGAIN soon, but it always happens in the winter when the weather is questionable, we have reports of snow coming next week, they say 5 inches possibly, that will make driving and moving impossible...such is the way of it in Iowa. I just hope this new venture is the last one, it would be nice to be finally settled in a good location.

But we have been lucky so far this year, with mild weather coming into winter...and no snow...yayyy...the older I get the less I like it, so you'll hear me whine every year, it's the nature of the beast! Maybe some year I'll be back in warmer climes, at least in the winter months.

Have a wonderful week little one I'm blowing you warm wishes for the holidays ahead...and hugs!

Into a big empty room,
That is still empty.

Cheers!
