I’m heading out to a school to try to paint some pictures with words. I’ll be regaling elementary school students with folk tales and fairy tales. There will be long breaks between sessions, and it will be difficult to keep up my energy for the full day (because I’m no spring chicken, anymore!). But, it will be worth it just to watch the expressions on the faces of those children as they get carried away by their imaginations.
Since performances are in the library, I’m never bored while waiting for the next class to visit. I flip through books and scribble notes to myself on my calendar. I can never find what I’m supposed to actually be doing on any given day in my calendar, because of all that “henscratching.” That’s how my Daddy used to describe my handwriting. As a calendar, this book is worthless; but for ideas to ponder it is a gold mine.
Last week, I jotted down this quote:
“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.
Jane Howard, “Families”
For those of you who visit regularly, the ones who drop in now and again, for those of you I visit, and those who have just found this site:
P.S. If you don’t tell me you were here, how can I find you? I don’t mind if you lurk; I do that sometimes, too. But, if you are of a mind to do so you can leave a comment and then I can come and visit.
