leaning forward in a half darkened, nearly empty classroom.....it doesn't matter that there are a handful of people filling up the first few benches....it doesn't matter that in a room suddenly bereft of the artificial lighting that is apparently so essential to our acquisition of education only the faintest illumination filters through the murky glass panes of a half shut door.....the greatest light is the one that shines within......and I can see, even through the darkness, the light in his eyes....and nothing else matters
