My evening at-home work has been preparing for a session I'm running tomorrow on "The Seven Ravens," one of my favorite Grimms' Tales. Half of the session will be a discussion about certain aspects of the story (a girl on a quest! the chair she takes with her! the key she fashions from her finger!), and the other half will focus on illustrations taken from picture-books of the tale. An evening thinking about ideas and images--that's a good thing.
On the radio on the way home I heard some stark stories about unemployment in the US, reminding me that I'm fortunate to be employed. I'm also fortunate that my employment can include thinking about things like "The Seven Ravens."
