It's been a deep pleasure to work with you in LTTA, and see your love and dedication to students, teachers, and the arts. I am sending you warm and caring thoughts. All the best, Ellen
Here is a Haiku I wrote for you:
shining like spring sunlight
in a darkened world, the light
of art brightens our hearts.

And here is a poem I love and find helpful and healing, "Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver.
Wild Geese
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
