Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth.

Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself.

Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.

Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go.

Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you.

~Pueblo blessing

A note from Adele


When I was a principal I presented the book Life Doesn't Frighten Me by Maya Angelou and Jean-Michel Basquiat to my graduating classes.  Both Angelou and Basquiat were incredibly courageous individuals who knew that fear was the enemy of creativity and who used their creativity to overcome tremendous personal hardship. I had hoped when I shared this with my graduates that some of that emotional intensity would touch them.  The message in the book and the powerful illustrations have been on my mind lately, especially as I marvel at the creativity that each of you present every day. Thank you for not being afraid. 
Adele
