"[Woodson] reflected that young people often ask themselves why they are here in the world, what they’re supposed to do, and how they can achieve it. The answer is 'being in community with each other,' she said." YES AND AMEN.

“I don’t write out of what I know; I write out of what I wonder. I think most artists create art in order to explore, not to give the answers. Poetry and art are not about answers to me; they are about questions.”― Lucille Clifton

Happy birthday to the poet Billy Collins! Here's some of his poetry to enjoy today:

"Literature, whether handed down by word or mouth or in print, gives us a second handle on reality." --Chinua Achebe, who died on this day in 2013

"I believe that appreciation is a holy thing—that when we look for what’s best in a person we happen to be with at the moment, we’re doing what God does all the time. So in loving and appreciating our neighbor, we’re participating in something sacred.” Happy birthday to Mr. Rogers!
