Acknowledging the Artist
We set the canvas
Supplied the paints and brushes
And lessons early on,
But you developed the piece of art –
Your palette,
Your colors,
Your own creation.
So why do we, the teachers,
Feel compelled to alter your brush strokes?
To put our imprints on your masterpiece
Instead of allowing you
To add the finishing touches,
Instead of stepping back
And appreciating the uniqueness
That is you?

On the 12th Night, in January 2009 the Vulcania will set sail. The SS Vulcania is a cruise ship that has been commissioned and is captained by Le Enchanteur. It is a luxury liner, in the style of the Conte di Savoia. The Vulcania is inspired by the luxurious, Italian transatlantic liners of the past, liners which voyaged between Italy and the Americas. On board the memories and refinement of a beautiful age have been recreated with modern elegance, and, at the same time, paying an amazing homage to the past. On the Vulcania, there is space for everyone and for all kinds of entertainment. This is one of the greatest pleasures on a ship this size, each guest can carve their ideal cruise for themselves.

Guilty! Sometimes I catch myself before altering the brush stroke and feel so proud of myself when I should be feeling proud of her for resisting me the times I don’t!
