okay. so i have been thinking about the next book to begin reading for the summer. a kingly figure suggested a book but did not mention why...should i go on blind faith and begin reading? perhaps because i think that he has a measure of intelligence.
since i have yet to go to b&n to check out the aforementioned book, i began a book that i do have, which is the collected stories of eudora welty (1980) that i purchased from a cozy and quaint bookstore named lemuria while researching in mississippi early this year. (fyi...the same person that did not tell me why i should read the book suggested lemuria. either way, at least indirectly, i'm reading a book that he suggested.)
i liked lemuria and would return if i'm ever in the area again. (shout out to evr'y body in the m-i-crooked letter crooked letter-i-hump back hump back-i ;) it's cute and has a cozy feel to it. writing about welty's collection of short stories and lemuria takes my mind to january 2009. smiley faces. oh the memories...
(i think my friend girl rubbed off on me because i'm posting more;) at least for now anyway.
i'm thinking of a really great book to begin reading...life changing great. i'm open for suggestions.

i'm in VA visiting my friend girl before heading to the hampton roads area. she is a blogg-a-nista and tweeter-a-mama. i think she has inspired me to blog and tweet more. but i'm not sure. we shall see how it goes. this can be time consuming. once time is lost there is no reclaiming it. the key is a plan: set a goal and maintain balance. i'm working on this now.

In spring Copyright ©2008 Aldo Gabbay Kraas
All the flowers that we planted
The year before comes up in our garden
The sweet smell of the roses and the flowers
We can smell it in the air
In the summer the bees and the birds
Come to collect the nectar from our flowers and roses
The colors of the roses and the flowers
Look beautiful
To our naked eyes
To us it is a great sense of achievement
That is how we feel
In the fall
The seeds fall of the flowers
And the plants go to sleep
Until the spring and summer
Arrives again the following year
In the winter
We cover our roses to protect them
From frost
When will we fight poverty in America with as much commitment as we bail out corporations. Where are our priorities? MLK Jr. speaks about the link between education and economic opportunities. He also calls on presidential candidates to make poverty an issue in the 2008 election. View the video here.
Harsh Realties of "critical needs" students exists beyond the borders of Mississippi.
The talk about Kennedy's visit to the Delta echoed one theme that I have heard throughout all of the talks: leadership matters. The type of leadership determines the group's success or lack thereof.
