The Police needed a drummer. History will tell the story of how Phil Collins occupied that seat, the sticks and the title – BEST. Then, Phil started to SING. The members of The Police disbanded, but individual careers were born. His is among one of my favorite voices.
Phil Collin's unique sound resonates and owns certain lyrics and tunes. Tonight … Another Day In Paradise ... Invisible Touch … Take Me Home. He owns the songs. Funny thing. At some point, Phil Collins needed a drummer for his band.
What sort of talent would he choose to sit in HIS seat and handle HIS sticks? You can research that answer too.
Thus it goes in growing any enterprise. Even if you are the best at what you do, there is a point at which you must choose to be just what you are and do what you do by yourself or invest yourself in someone else and take the risk of growth.
To the especially gifted, you might earn the title – TEACHER.
I love the process of calligraphy and photography. I like the feel of the equipment and way that it feels right in my hands. I like the way it gives back to me when I invest my energy and expertise in it. I especially like to see others develop the same command of their tools and see the same joy in their faces as I have in mine.
There are teachers taking a break this summer and there are teachers with broken hearts. Their contracts are not renewed and classes are canceled. They are looking at themselves seriously and critically and seeking new places to teach or for new types of work. Our hearts are with them.
If you know a teacher, especially one enduring a special hardship, offer them some help and encouragement.
They love notes, shiny apples and students. Even emails and text messages are good. © Tim www.timjohnsonphoto.com
