A few musings from Kansas by a high school literature teacher. Over the past few months, this blog has turned a commentary on media. I will probably continue to focus on film and television, but books and music might sneak in... By the way - If you would like me to post on a regular basis - please comment, even if it's just to say, "Hi." If my audience disappears, I lose the motivation to write! Thanks!
Peaceful Warrior - something in this one is pushing my buttons. I'm not sure what. The metaphor of the warrior is a powerful one. We use it a lot in talking about following Jesus. Images of life as a battle are common. I'm interested to see how the metaphor applies here. Especially in regards to peace. It looks like it might be a little more than your average sports triumph movie.

I am a Literature teacher in Kansas. Currently, I am wondering if it is possible to communicate a passion for Lit in a way that my students will catch the same passion...or any passion for that matter! :-) (Ahh - the joys of communicating a deep love of language to high school students with the added challenge of quite possibly having the worst spelling in the history of English teachers. ) :-)

interesting blog!
"I call myself the peaceful warrior because the battles we fight are on the inside." What a line! I'm excited to see this!
me, too - saw it today, right there with you.
