Putting myself out there

In the book Inkheart by Cornelia Funke, the character Mo says:

"Perhaps there's another story behind the printed one, a story that changes just as our own world does. And the letters on the page tell us only as much as we'd see peering through a keyhole. Perhaps the story in the book is just the lid on a pan: It always stays the same, but underneath there's a whole world that goes on - developing and changing like our own world."

As a teacher, I fell in love with this quote because it challenges us to be deeper readers - to imagine, conclude, visualize, to think outside the box. As a person, it makes me see you in a different light. After all, aren't we the same as a book...only allowing others to see what we want them to see? Haven't you ever looked at a person and wondered what was going on inside their head? Has a twinkle in someone's eye ever made you curious about what they are thinking about or planning?

So, this blog is a little bit like the key that pushes releases the doorknob just a bit. When you look through my keyhole, sometimes there are deep thoughts but sometimes there is silliness. Either way, it is my key hole you are looking through. Hope you like what you see.
