Way back when -- I remember learning to read out of the Tip books, to paraphrase:
See Dick. See Dick run. Run, Dick, run!
(Then Jane and Spot ran, too.)
The presentation came to these words: anaplastic oligodendroglioma
And I saw Dick and Jane run. They methylated all the way home.
It was a neat moment for literacy and comprehension, and reminded me of a time when I was student teaching in metro N'ville. I was helping a third grader learn to read, and when her light bulb clicked on I knew she had figured it out. It was magical.
Something about those ugly, ugly words is magical, too.
It's hope.

You could also say the same thing about ugly, ugly worlds.
At least, I have to believe that this week.
Love and peace to all.
