"When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes." - Erasmus
That quote pretty accurately describes my life long love affair with books; collecting, reading, and 'literacy advocating,' making it a fitting way to open this Blog. Sadly, school has cut way into my pleasure reading. But there is always time for poetry. As I was reading tonight, this piece by Langston Hughes made me think of my students, occasionally as I look back on them from the front of the room.
My People
The night is beautiful,
So the faces of my people.
The stars are beautiful,
So the eyes of my people.
Beautiful, also, is the sun.
Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people.
WELCOME. Take a moment to kick off your shoes, relax, and refill your cup. Enjoy some poetry and a bit of art. Browse through the assorted offerings, and hopefully you'll find something helpful, informative, or just fun. Oh, And chocolate!
