Why Morpheus?

His goal was to find the ‘One’ and prepare, equip and help in every way he could. He believed in the one even the one doubted himself.  Morpheus is my favourite character because he didn’t need to be the one but was content to serve, to take a lower more humble place. I see myself as being a bit like Morpheus as I desire to point, poke, and help students probe their own spirituality.

Land Mines and Hand grenades

The games we play picture what it is like going through spirituality classes. First it is not safe. When you run through the middle you have hand grenades being thrown at you and in addition land mines to dodge. The more you survive the fewer there are and the harder it is to dodge the balls flying at your head (officially below the waist). Sharing your personal thoughts and beliefs is risky because it means we become vulnerable. We encourage students to accept this risk, to share anyway and to show each other respect.

Ebz freedom and grace

Spirituality classes are often confusing. We play a game where you get a ball thrown at your head and you have to do the opposite of what you are told. Catch and you need to head it. Head and you need to catch it. Now Guy has done Pscychology and he loves messing with our minds with this game. It is a real laugh. It helps us realise that sometimes people use words differently and we need to be prepared to hear them out.

Animals

We then broke up into our small groups and I asked the students if they could be any animal what would they be.

Rusty chose a Monkey because he doesn’t know. Perhaps because they are athletic and gymnastic in their abilities

Tiffy chose to be a giraffe because she would like to be taller

Ebz was torn between a fish and a bird. She didn’t like my suggestion of combining the two and being a penguin. As a fish she wanted to be colourful. I’m guessing that both fish and birds for Ebz represent freedom.

Zac in his complicated and convoluting way wanted to be a butterfly (because they are beautiful), a sloth (because they don't stress out), and a tiger (because they are powerful). He likes butterflies for their beauty and tigers for their savage power. So he would tear you to pieces and then fly away as a butterfly.

I chose to be an osprey which confused everyone. Google saved the day when I got a picture of a Sea Hawk not whore as some students thought I said.  One reason why they call me the Rev is because I love speed, I ride a motor bike and love the exhilaration that comes with the awesome acceleration and braking power of my ZZR 600. As an Osprey it would be awesome to be able to swoop down and catch my dinner of fresh fish.
