thinking about our project and wanting to share a story

hi everyone,
i am thinking continually about the importance of process over product, and have some articles that may be interesting for you to read so i will attach one of them when i alert you to this post.
i'm sitting in Boys, a great coffee shop at QUT urban village (what does that mean, an urban village) Kelvin Grove. It is a lovely piece of home, with Luke and Chris making standout coffees and i just tasted some remarkable poached eggs and tomatoes. so needless to say i am feeling comfortable and cared for.  someone at the next table only ate one of his eggs, and that old expression that i was brought up with, and perhaps you also  heard (expressions have a habit of being multigenerational), "what about all the starving people in China....[or wherever] and that throws me into overwhelmingness.  why are we so lucky? and i know that we often laugh when we are reminded of that famous book, but why are we the lucky country?

so that is where i am right this minute. processing food.  but also processing language.  i have been lecturing this year, as you know, and i have had some powerful interactions with students of late, where there is a little bit of irritation (perhaps) with their grades.  Words  such as "perplexing", "that is just insulting" and expressions like "would i get a higher mark if i thought like you".(please remember these are now out of context)..and this makes me  wonder about the power of words. 

How do we mark papers and still sit in the process realm: that it is the journey, not the mark? how can a I communicate to so many students at the same time and get it "right"...impossible perhaps? but that is the task i have set for myself, (that is one of my process projects!) committing to sending articles on a very regular basis, to keep the channels of communication open and growing, continuing to stay connected in the hope that we will grow very fine collaborative therapists.

i am, right now, thinking that the old fashioned way has got it right:
No overt involvement.
Just turn up. 
Then no one gets hurt.

but what a dull as dishwater world that could become.

any thoughts?
