“A friend told me that each morning when we get up we have to decide whether we are going to save or savor the world. I don’t think that is the decision. It’s not an either-or, save or savor. We have to do both, save and savor the world.”

Authority is granted to people who are perceived as authoring their own words, their own actions, their own lives, rather than playing a scripted role at great remove from their own hearts. When teachers depend on the coercive powers of law or technique, they have no authority at all.

Poem of the day – I think just how my shape will rise by Emily Dickinson
I think just how my shape will riseWhen I shall be forgiven,Till hair and eyes and timid headAre out of sight, in heaven.
I think just how my lips will weighWith shapeless, quivering prayerThat you, so late, consider me,The sparrow of your care.
I mind me that of anguish sent,Some drifts were moved awayBefore my simple bosom broke, –And why not this, if they?
And so, until delirious borneI con that thing, — forgiven, –Till with long fright and longer trustI drop my heart,

Poem of the day – THE LONELY HOUSE – I know some lonely houses off the road by Emily Dickinson
I know some lonely houses off the roadA robber ‘d like the look of, –Wooden barred,And windows hanging low,Inviting toA portico,Where two could creep:One hand the tools,The other peepTo make sure all’s asleep.Old-fashioned eyes,Not easy to surprise!
How orderly the kitchen ‘d look by night,With just a clock, –But they could gag the tick,And mice won’t bark;And so the walls don’t tell,None will.
A pair of spectacles ajar just stir –An

Gratitude is the state of mind of thankfulness. As it is cultivated, we experience an increase in our "sympathetic joy," our happiness at another's happiness. Just as in the cultivation of compassion, we may feel the pain of others, so we may begin to feel their joy as well. And it doesn't stop there.
