Shedding light in the Rabbit Hole
A conversation starter, a keepsake for observations, ideas, inspirations, memes, metaphors & tales, whisperings on learning, on different (critical) literacies, on revolutionizing education, on sustainable development, on societal life and critical social research, on "futures", on worldviews, on change & transformations, on diversity, social justice and emanicipations, on all the subjects that fascinate me, on beautiful things: books I love/read/want to read: stories that take me away, on music, poetry and art.
{shining & glittery rays of light} (an unending collection of interesting postmodern memes to use in the classroom)
My attempt to look for meaningful (yet at first look 'far fetched') patterns? Or just simple my way of shining some light in the rabbit hole. But most important an attempt to connect with other souls who are enjoying the fall down the rabbit hole as well...
" (...) and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it [the white rabbit], and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge. In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again..." (Lewis Carroll)

Books I’ve read since June 2010
Books I’ve read, starting keeping tracking since June 2010
Okay, now I have always preferred the physical book, a great novel (being it fiction or non-fiction) & poetry above all other time-consuming gateway to escapism. I love to read books, I love books, I love the smell of an old book (I have always preferred a second-hand book above a new one), I love that a book becomes worn out, because you take it with you wherever you go (that’s why I prefer pocketbooks above hardcovers). I love book cover art, okay point made: I love everything about books, the whole experience… And since it’s nice to keep track of the books I’m reading (just as in high school, where this was compulsory and most of the students hated it, and I recall this as one of the most precious things in my high school years) I will start doing this again. I will keep track of the books I’ve read since June 2010, this is the ongoing list, and of course I will give credit to the great books I’ve read before that, somehow…I have to think about how I will do this (maybe keeping track on one of the such handy sites that display your library collection) but, I promise I will honor the writers, their stories, ideas and wonderful charachters who have contributed to my own charachter shaping process…
