Gone too soon. :) <br />reminds one to look deep into things that are lasting ... those we can grip with our hearts and hold on to.

I may also forward this to the administrators in my building - there is much in the speech that they would benefit from, as well!Tarahttp://tmsteach.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-20844622187781770642012-05-04T20:27:41.662-04:002012-05-04T20:27:41.662-04:00I am reading the YA book with a group of middle sc...I am reading the YA book with a group of middle school students now & we just discussed the perils of beauty & luck in social status today.

I'm always thinking about things I heard him say on Mars Hill Audio interviews, and some particular lines and thoughts from poems come back again and again to bounce around in my mind and nourish me.
