Lorin Wilson

Lorin was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area/Peninsula.  Except for 2 years in another California location, Lorin has called the greater Bay Area home from birth, through college, and on into teaching.  

Lorin enjoys writing music (band, choir, small ensemble) as well as playing (trumpet).  He started his adult career in life as a middle school music teacher: band, choir.  Along the way, he has taught from elementary, through middle school and even at the high school level. There was some part-time college work as well!  He now serves, again, as a middle school teacher, though it seems the subjects change!  Currently, he teaches STEM through coding.  the previous year was math and science, and the year before that, English Language Arts and Social Studies.

Lorin’s perspective on life and living has been shaped and warped by the various cultures of which he is a part: family, education, religion.  His views rarely align to the mainstream of any of those which means, he has learned more and more to be quieter and quieter.  Here at elephant journal, he is not writing for anyone other than himself.  He is open to differing opinions, to learn and to grow, but he is not interested in debating.  Debating is left to those who relish engaging in the onslaught of others, charging through their victims with the voracity of opinion, experience, and knowledge that often singularly lives with their own self-centered fantasy.

So, if you choose to comment and engage in sharing your experience, please understand, there may be no response on his part.  Please, we can be critical of ideas, without having to attack people!
