Did you know Thursday (4/18/13) is national Poem in Your Pocket Day?
In honor of such a wonderful holiday, this is the poem (handwritten, though) that I will be carrying in my pocket:
(I might pick a more kid-friendly version to hold onto as well. We shall see...)
What about you? What poem will you carry?
Heck, if you can't think of one, you can try this one. <-- It's downloadable in an easy-to-cut-out format!
Yes, keep a poem in your pocket and a picture in your head...
(And here's a post about why we need poetry in schools.)
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
