Exclamation Marks Galore…
Hello dear friends,
“How It Might Continue
Wherever we go, the chance for joy,
whole orchards of amazement -
one more reason to always travel
with our pockets full of exclamation marks,
so we might scatter them for others
like apple seeds.
Some will dry out, some will blow away,
but some will take root
and grow exuberant groves
filled with long thin fruits
that resemble one hand clapping -
so much enthusiasm as they flutter back and forth
that although nothing’s heard
and though nothing’s really changed,
people everywhere for years to come
will swear that the world
is ripe with applause, will fill
their own pockets with new seeds to scatter.”
Several years ago, someone that I know reviewed my resume and commented that it seemed like everything I had written down was followed by an exclamation point - not an actual exclamation point, but the tone was such that it felt like an exclamation point. I looked at it again and had to admit that he was correct. And then I didn't change anything. I'm just an exclamation point kind of woman! If you know me, you know that is true.
Amazement and joy are contagious. Take some time this week to be amazed yourself. Then scatter a few of your own exclamation marks around.
As a reminder, I am travelling this week - classes will resume next Monday, September 19. The afternoon class (4:15 pm CT) will resume next Monday as well.
Love!!!
