Astonishingly Beautiful

He spoke about his work.
When a student finally understands something the way it was taught—
and that moment of clarity lights up their face—
he said, “It’s astonishingly beautiful.”
I nodded, deeply moved.
The joy of learning is real.
The joy of teaching is even greater.
Watching a student truly grasp a concept—
it’s not just rewarding, it’s beautiful.
Teaching and learning are about sharing something astonishingly beautiful together.
