 “My prayers seem to be more of an attitude than anything else. I indulge in very little lip service, but ask the Great Creator silently, daily and often many times per day. To permit me to speak to Him through the three great Kingdoms of the world, which He has created, viz. – the Animal, Mineral and Vegetable Kingdoms; their relations to each other, to us; our relations to them and the Great God who made all of us. I ask him daily and often momently to give me wisdom, understanding, and bodily strength to do His will; hence I am asking and receiving all the time.” ~ George Washington Carver source
Momently : from moment to moment; continually.

"I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself,
and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments..."--Oriah Mountain Dreamer
Fire Dance each day of your life,

ZIM = Zone of Intrinsic Motivation
ZIM! is a conversation, a negotiation, and for those who find it, a celebration. For all its simplicity, I've learned that ZIM! is a difficult concept to convey. Please see #RethinkHighSchool: AMP = Autonomy + Mastery + Purpose for more specifics.
