It is the time of year when students begin planning for next year, and in Natalie's case that means planning for 9th grade and doing course selection. This morning over coffee with a couple of people -- one of them a guidance counselor -- we were discussing this process and the way it ramps into career planning and projects out into life with what seem at times to be alternately momentous or grave consequences.
Trying to arrive at what I would ultimately like to see for my children in terms of how the order the various components of their lives and selves: professional, personal, blah blah blah, I arrived at the phrase: feng shui. I.e. that there should be a feng shui of the soul itself.
I'm not sure what this means, but it sure is a catchy phrase. Now I must repeat it 10,000 times, until, in Malcolm Gladwell terms, I have mastered it.
