We save each other with our love! 'At the beginning, when you were sick, we stood at the edge of the vast escarpment, the sudden drop-off toward what we did not know... And yet. The hope we took in that cold view cast far beyond us.' Minnie Bruce Pratt, from 'Magnified' (2021)

"The soul misses what the body could not let go-what else could hold on that tightly to everything? What else could hear the chain of a swing set fall and fall to its knees? What else could touch a screen door and taste lemonade?" -Tincture Andrea Gibson

I’m very excited to be teaching poetry to 3rd graders this upcoming week. I’m currently preparing my lesson and am looking for one more age appropriate poem to share. If you have a favorite poem for 9 year olds, please share. Thanks so much everyone!

Self-sacrifice is knitting a sweater for the cold shoulder of someone who doesn’t notice you are freezing. Love is a mother putting her oxygen mask on first, but holding her breath until you have on yours’.
