Students - Sometimes a person cannot find the words. There are so many words, so so many. But sometimes they just cannot express the depth of a person's sadness and anger. And so here is my small poem offering for today.
Student and Educator Friends - I am heartbroken and so sorry that you have to do lockdown drills in school. Children - please know that there are many adults working hard to keep you safe. You are loved. And your love brightens up so many corners of our world. Shine those candle-hearts of yours. Find the kindness and peace in others and in yourself. We all can do this, and this finding and giving will fill our days with love.

Please comment this week over at Tuesday's post, where Bonnie LaMonaco's beautiful second graders spread love with their kindness poems. I would love for them to read some generous words from us all.
