Today I am inspired by these words from Owen Sheers' poem "Tree."
...silhoutted against a reddening sky
that could be the setting or the rising of the sun
I wrote this in anticipation of learning who our new principal would be.
Today I want to feel the sun rising
on a new day for CLMS.
I know Kelly is part of the setting
sun, as she rides off into her
retirement, well-earned.
I need to believe in a rising sun
today. Everything has already
changed. It's okay if there is
more.
Yet, I will remember a tree takes
a long time to grow, its roots
to establish, the sun and rain
in due time. Nothing will be
immediate. I will allow the
branches to establish themselves,
so they may
grow strong.
