I couldn't put it down.
I finally sat down long enough
to experience the bite of the unknown
and chilling plunge
into the
first chapter.
into the
first chapter.
Then, as if they had a say in the whole affair
the stringed lights in my garden
flickered in dim unison
the stringed lights in my garden
flickered in dim unison
like children joined hand-in-hand
whimsically chanting summer's
END.
BUT
the tale endures.
For it is in the HEART of the story
where the treasures are found
that ignite the joy
of knowing that the dreams of a child
and the insecurities of an adolescent
can flower into the wisdom of an adult.
Because when you follow the story of your life just remember that
My summer holiday is over
but the plot thickens.
My students and I are waiting
to learn that
So before I start on
my way back to the classroom
I just want to tell you that
letters
with you in creating a place to
forget the troubles of the world
in order to remember
what is close to your heart.

letters
laughter
gift exchanges
emails
Skype
and most of all for the confidence that I can collaborate
with you in creating a place to
forget the troubles of the world
in order to remember
what is close to your heart.
