Educational Purposes Only

I'm not sure what to write anymore.
Like my thoughts have run dry,
and the rain hasn't come yet.

The rain hasn't filled my mind,
not with witty thoughts, nor silly thoughts.
It's a blank slate, wipped clean.

But this isn't Jessen's room,
where no one has written on the board.
This is like Olson's room,
where pens must not be wasted, 
and there's only a blank web diagram there.

Because it's for teaching,
and only that.
It's for educational purposes.
And that's its only purpose.
Like a car, that's meant for driving.
But let's take a risk,
listen to music while driving.
Draw silly pictures while teaching.

Go out on a limb,
and if it breaks and you fall,
your friends will catch you, or you'll catch yourself.

There's something that Christopher Robin taught us.

If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together...
There is something you must always remember. 
You are braver than you believe, 
stronger than you seem, 
and smarter than you think. 
But the most important thing is, 
even if we're apart... 
I'll always be with you.
