School Days

This Morning

Maddie was nervous because she did not know the class schedule, among other things. Steitler was anxious about eating lunch in the cafeteria, among other things. I was on edge knowing that I would have to leave the school building at some point, among other things.

There is a something-terrible feeling in my heart knowing I am rather directly responsible for the changes that put my children into distress. My heart also beats a tall- courageous thump thinking of children that adapt and cope. But today the something-terrible beats seem heavier and louder than the tall-courage beats.



Well, I dreamt I saw you walking

up a hillside in the snow

casting shadows on the winter sky

as you stood there counting crows



I will walk along these hillsides in the summer 'neath the sunshine I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me

Change, change, change, change
