‘How to spot a mentor’ mmm..

Or… actually: ‘where’, as for ‘how’ I wouldn’t know how to clarify at this point.

Everywhere… I’ve come across them in the shape of ‘spiders’ when the mood took me to dusting and hovering, ‘mice’ when a more than is healthy curious/adventurous specimen finds himself trapped and choked to death in one of the traps in the boiler cupboard (I disinfect the traps as to not attract these bold explorers) even the most horrendous of creatures ‘ticks’ or ‘midges’ have something to teach…: what makes them do they do what they do and how do they do it, how did they get there! Frogs on the road, flattened… seedlings, when thinning out a vegetable patch… moving up a level: slaughterhouse workers…, wardens, homeless, drunks, judges, marines, artists, writers, teachers… the list is neverending!

The thing is though… what are you learning?

Hahaha…
