Who: Charles Xavier + You
Broadcast: Voice
Action: SS Heron
When: Now

I had a lecture planned but I realized it felt rather redundant. We have huge list of lectures and while each topic is interesting, I feel it lacks the feedback aspect that's so important in our education. To quote one of my favourite books . . .

"The best thing about being sad is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then—to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the thing for you"

So, I put the question to the Fleet. What would you like to learn and how can we help each other? I hold classes on the Iskaulit for training of powers, but I'd be happy to broaden my classes for other subjects and needs.

All you need to do is ask.

You do well at it! And I am glad - it is hard sometimes, to remember, unless reminded.
bythewaves: (hm?)

Well spoken! It has been said that the best of things are always difficult to achieve - perhaps because we appreciate them more, after.
bythewaves: (harp)

I am glad you were able to learn. [ he agrees soberly - not all, he knows, do. ]

And there is no shame in that - we all move at our own pace, through life.
bythewaves: (makalaure)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2016-11-12 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
We all wish that, I think. Regret is a part of life.
bythewaves: (turn aside)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2016-11-12 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
Greater for some. I hope you live to have joy enough to balance your griefs.
bythewaves: (Arnold grin)

[ Maglor laughs softly at that ]

I am sure they contribute as much to your stress, as well! Students always do.
bythewaves: (peace)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2016-11-12 11:59 am (UTC)(link)
Children always are. [ Maglor agrees ]

Double the worry then, for you! But also much joy, I am thinking.
bythewaves: (Arnold grin)

I am glad! I had none of my own, but I had younger siblings to help raise, and once, fosterlings. There is a joy in raising children unlike any other.
bythewaves: (as a father to you)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2016-11-12 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
No - I was the second of seven brothers, so my parents were only too glad to let us older ones help them with the younger! And so my elder brother and I were well familiar with the care of younglings, if rather out of practice. We did not have them long and ... the circumstances were... very much less than ideal.

But I like to think that we did them more good than harm, in the end.
bythewaves: (dad)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2016-11-13 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
I hope so. [ his voice is wistful ]

I could not see them again except from a distance, but they both seemed happy and well.
bythewaves: (hm?)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2016-11-13 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Even so.

Will you tell me a little of yours?
bythewaves: (hm?)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2016-11-13 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
If you mind not the telling.
bythewaves: (as a father to you)

Adopted kin can be as close or closer than those of blood. [ Maglor observes ]

I am glad you have them, at the least.
