I.Summer School

I.Summer School in season. 

Four Weddings; Four Funerals. As seen on TV.

These are the real tests of character. Outside of school and learning. How would you assess your behavior at weddings and funerals? Does school prepare you for life? Death?

These are big events in ones life. Witnessing.

Where do we get the ideas as to how to preform weddings how to act during them? Funerals?

Do we take time to thoughtfully prepare for how to witness these events, or do we follow screens? Allow TV, movies and pop culture to shape our behaviors?

I used to be pretty numb attending weddings and funerals. I’ve learned that being awake and making the ceremonies more about the other- couples or deceased- is a completely different experience.

I.School has slowed me down. Allowed me to reflect more fully on these occasions. I am amused and humbled by watching others. And when it came time for my own sons wedding… two years after this post,

Well, I am grateful for I.School.
