Our earnest miss tick had told me precious little about her emotions,
preferring, as was her inclination, to hit the books.
I would think that such a dream would evoke all kinds of startling emotions!
An army of assailants slipping up on her unawares, sucking blood, no less!
And the work that we had done...was it the catalyst?
What kind of power animal was this?
I would press her further...perhaps invite ticks into my own dreams
to share their wisdom...
This back and forth between a student and her teacher is helpful...it reminds me of many books I've read where letter writing is the form the book used. It is helpful to see how a student progresses. I can identify with her going to other people's insight and reading books rather than trusting her own gut insight. I'm excited to continue to follow her journey with this.
