But....may I say....before our last short trip I suddenly noticed that I'd been missing seeing you here. I missed your westerns....your sage voice....your pithy posts....your words, my friend. So...you may have been here during my short hiatus...but do note.....I am so so glad to see your name here again on the dVerse role! :)<br />And that all said....this post made me smile. I LOVE the haiku at the end...adding your inevitable humor and take on the words you've shared.<br /> I also loved the truth in your post. I suspect you were a wonderful teacher for your students...heck, you are here for your dVerse readers! :) And I do so agree: the arts are critical. In our recent month in DC, with the goal of doing everything free, we toured the Kennedy Center. I was reminded of the commitment to the arts the Kennedys had...of the wonderful performances and awards given with the Obamas and other presidents sitting in the Kennedy Center balconies. And sadly, so sadly, seeing now the seeming lack of commitment to the arts by this administration. It seems to me there is a "life force" within music, plays, paintings, photography etc. I recently went to my grandaughter's ballet recital -- she is smitten with dance and takes 3 lessons per week. I doubt she will become a professional dancer....but the love she has for dance now, will, I suspect, stay with her throughout her life. The grace dance is providing her long limbs...it was a joy to see. So thank you my friend....for this wonderful post...and SO glad to see you here!lillianthehomepoet.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12664830773553716989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327165758377801408.post-30658909260999782422018-06-13T19:15:00.104-07:002018-06-13T19:15:00.104-07:00OH the haiku made me grin.

Still, that is something to be said, for the artist who stays in the studio, quietly serving others making another world visible, when no one knows, without a pay check... but you are right, the world needs what the artist has to say. so the artist has to find his way. annell4https://www.blogger.com/profile/07629830133868270690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327165758377801408.post-34635180169001137002018-06-13T00:37:45.157-07:002018-06-13T00:37:45.157-07:00The haiku says it all, Glenn!The haiku says it all, Glenn!Kim M.

I know it has been a wonderful avenue for me. I am also so glad you taught for so long, likely spreading the love of poetry and literature to many young hearts and minds.
