Agape: divine love

Speaking of Nothing

I’m not quite sure what to go on about

as my mind seems to be sinking.

Maybe I’ll sing a morning bird’s song 

through the branches of the trees

and the wind of the air. 

Or maybe I’ll proclaim another love story

of impeccable romance,

a once-upon-a-time

of two souls running away into eternity. 

It’s possible I’ll simply wallow 

in the depths of this life 

of its treacherous storms 

and disdainful tears.

Or maybe I’ll dance beneath

the cloudless sky

through a field of colors and creatures

basking in the camouflaged beauty of our world.

Perhaps I’ll take a swim through the galaxy,

through the moon and the stars 

and jump from planet to plant

just to see what other life there is.

Or maybe, just maybe,

I’ll just sit inside these four walls

hidden from the rest of humanity

wondering what I have yet to see,

waiting for another thought to form into an art,

waiting, just waiting, for the very best part. 

Relax

It’s nice to simply sit in bed and forget about the world. Time for yourself to ponder your future and to wonder what great things are in store. Time to just stare at the wall and let your mind run blank. Time to escape from other people and just sit in silence. Time to think about others - people you need to reconnect with, people you need to see. Time to plan your day, your week, your entire life. Time to simply sit and have a conversation in your mind about anything imaginable, without interruptions, without disagreement. Just you. 

A great teacher can offer an escape from poverty to the child who dreams beyond his circumstance. Every person in this chamber can point to a teacher who changed the trajectory of their lives. Most teachers work tirelessly, with modest pay, sometimes digging into their own pocket for school supplies – just to make a difference.

Teachers matter.

— President Obama

This is why THE NOTEBOOK is beautiful.
