be wary then; best safety lies in fear. – shakespeare
it was the perfect night
for the
corn maze terror
9 of us went in
3 of us made it
all the way through
hangnail moon
chilling wind
corn up to the sky
eerily waving us in
dark silo in the back
watching it all
and
scary things
so many terrifying things
all along the way
walking out of the corn
and
standing behind us
and
calling our names
and
chasing us
scary pic of me hiding in the corn
right at the beginning – excited and scared both
we ran
we startled
we got lost
we shrieked
we fell
we ran more
we tried to
clutch onto each other
sometimes to strangers
yelled our lungs out
and
somehow
made it to the end
a little bit braver
and
for at least one of us
a lot more scared
than when we went in.
a true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst,
than in the beginning of danger.

smart.
a person without a sense of humor
is like a wagon without springs.
It’s jolted by every pebble on the road.

bats.
we met the bats
learned about
all the good they do
micro bats
mega bats
brown bats
fruit bats
how important they are
to our world
and
we will try
to do our part
to help
save the bats.

‘turn on the dark, i’m afraid of the light.”

giant.
kinders size up the leaves
that are
like nothing they’ve seen before
much bigger than their heads
with a color
like shiny crayons
they must be
leftover
from the time of the dinosaurs.

the world is a giant puzzle that hasn’t been put together yet,
and were trying to
find the other piece of this puzzle that goes with us.

fashion is not about clothes, it is about a look. – carine roitfeld
they say
clothes don’t make the man
but
a fashion-forward rotweiller
on a gray, rainy day
strolling among the humans
to raise money
for
type 1 diabetes research
in her ballet-soft tutu
sure shows some
style and class.

age and size are only numbers.
it’s the attitude you bring to clothes
that makes the difference.

nothing can be truer than fairy wisdom. it is as true as sunbeams. – douglas william jerrold
we made a fancy house
with
windows open wide
thinned the field
planted beautiful flowers
collected favorite things
painted magic rocks
decorated sticks
sprinkled
treasures and sparkles
opened up a pumpkin patch
made the beds
welcomed
the curious bees
and
friendly butterflies
laid out a table
and invited them in.
the fairies
must have been watching
for they
moved into
their new little village
in the circle
right on our playground
and
we hope they’re here to stay.
—
if a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder without any such gift from the fairies, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.
