:Transmission Begins:
. . .from their earliest years children live on familiar terms with disrupting emotions, fear and anxiety are an intrinsic part of their everyday lives, they continually cope with frustrations as best they can. And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming Wild Things. -Maurice Sendak
Sad today, Maurice Sendak died this morning. Read _Where the Wild Things Are_ this afternoon to the students today, nothing seems to calm them down like a few minutes with King Max and his wild things. Read it again when I got home to my younglings, they know how much I love the story and it is one of our bedtime standards for as long as I can remember.
Oh, please don't gowe'll eat you upwe love you so!
In happier news, taking a personal day Thursday, and going to visit the night nurse, planning on spending the day together, and neither of us could wait the full month. Makes me smile.
