Share a favorite school story or funny memory. Or maybe you'd like to share something you've done since graduation.

I'm not sure if finding this poem in our Senior English text was what sparked my interest in poetry, but it is a poem that I found hypnotic:
THOUGH THE MOUNTAINS
Though the mountains bow to you
I shall not bow;
Though the world be your mirror
I shall not reflect you.

I will sit alone in the night while you dance.
But when the world has marked its vengeance on your face,
Come back to me.
I will make you beautiful with my eyes.

Fran -- such a warm, wonderful person! I don't think I realized at the time (being more of a brooding poet-type) what a positive influence she had on me. There are certain people who touch you dearly, and she is one of them.

Rachel was extraordinary in every sense of the word, and yet never took any credit for all her accomplishments. We are all diminished by the loss of her. Even now it is hard to be in a world without her CAN DO energy and caring friendship.

". . . Whenever I would see the brook I'd race it,

And the brook raced, too, and I would run away,

Whenever I saw something that could ring, I rang,

And whenever something sang I played for it.

I made myself at home with everything. . . "

-- Randall Jarrell translation of a Rilke poem
