About me and this blog

I am a fifth-grade teacher by day.

Why I’m doing this

Good art is a truing of vision, the way a saw is trued in a saw shop, to cut more cleanly.
— Jane Hirshfield, Ten Windows

Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.
— Mary Oliver, Sometimes

It’s True

After the recent election I’ve been grasping for straws and my fingers touched a metaphor, instead.

Here’s a 25-word poem.

It’s True

the moss on the tree
glows
against the rotten snow,
greener
under this gray sky
than a blue one, greener
after the snow
than before.

–Steve Peterson
