Show Notes

Micah Kraus has devoted his life to expressing himself through teaching and art.  A diversity of interests and a commitment to expression and humanity allows him to be an artist at home and a teacher at school.  Whether it's photographing abandoned structures on the weekend or building up the interior structure of a young person in a grace-filled moment after school, Micah's quiet dignity guides his interactions with both the art implement and the person.  In this episode we explore the maltreatment he received from high school bullies, the heritage of non-violence and calm he learned from his father, the structure of his home and impact of his sister, and the parallels between the art teacher and a coach. Teachers, coaches and well, humans with a heart, will appreciate this rich journey.
