"Observations on a Tuesday Morning"
Poem of the Day - 4/28/20
Audio version of this poem
I sit in silence
Listening for the sound of birds chirping
Outside my window
Which is open today
Sunlight sneaks in through the blinds
Bringing a sense of warmth and comfort
To my lonely living room
Flowers stand taller
Slowly and proudly blooming in the spring air
The colors are magnificent
From my vantage point
I can see dogs on their daily walks
And I can hear children laughing
As they speed down the sidewalk on their scooters
And in that moment I realize
I wish I had a scooter too
"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?...
