Tao of a Silly Old Bear, Monday, Period Two
For a guy teaching a class about Tao, Kanan looked maybe more than a little harried this morning. Of course, he was soaked up past his knees and his copy of the book he was teaching from didn't seem to be faring any better.
"So, I went to bed Friday night, woke up to squirrels telling me I'm late for my Monday radio shift, and nearly had to swim to work today," he drawled. "Apologies if this isn't the most put-together of classes. I'd had a plan for this one, it had involved the park, but the park is currently underwater, so we're going to just sit here on the school lawn and... contemplate the water or..."
He looked out at the town, flooded as it was.
"... Or something."
Sigh.
"This week's lesson," he added, "is a simple one, at least. It's about the value of learning, of putting one's faith entirely in study, versus learning from life experience." He shrugged. "Basically, don't put all of your faith in what you've been taught. Having faith in what you've learned for yourself is important, too."
A pause.
"Here is where I'd have some activity about 'Twosday,' spelled with a two, or the letter A, but my book is too soggy to open for reference," sigh, "so let's..." He waved a hand vaguely toward the water. "Talk about this. Talk about how research from books might help a non-aquatic person to adapt to a largely amphibious lifestyle, versus lessons that you might have learned for yourself this morning since waking up to it." He paused, and then added, "And if anybody has any suggestions for taking my dog for a walk while the island's flooded like this, I'm all ears."
Priorities.

"Oooh, no. I should never sing," Kanan replied. "Ever."

"Because I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket," Kanan replied. "I sometimes think I can, but that's only when I've been drinking."
So, not for over a year now.

"... Right," Kanan replied, after a pause. "How silly of me."
Really, he should have known.
