Fog that rolled in at 4pm. Feels a lot like this year. Dark and murky with little light. I’ve found some solace in poetry this year. This poem below relates so much to the feelings I think a lot of us have been having. That we’ve missed out on important things this year but finding comfort in what we’ve also found this year.

What You Missed That Day You Were Absent from Fourth Grade: by Brad Aaron Modlan Mrs. Nelson explained how to stand still and listen to the wind, how to find meaning in pumping gas,
how peeling potatoes can be a form of prayer. She took questions on how not to feel lost in the dark.
After lunch she distributed worksheets
that covered ways to remember your grandfather’s voice. Then the class discussed falling asleep without feeling you had forgotten to do something else—
something important—and how to believe
the house you wake in is your home. This prompted Mrs. Nelson to draw a chalkboard diagram detailing how to chant the Psalms during cigarette breaks, and how not to squirm for sound when your own thoughts are all you hear; also, that you have enough.
The English lesson was that I am
is a complete sentence.
And just before the afternoon bell, she made the math equation look easy. The one that proves that hundreds of questions, and feeling cold, and all those nights spent looking for whatever it was you lost, and one person add up to something.

Here is a testimonial

“I absolutely loved this class. Lindsey transformed by thinking about portraits, it truly was revolutionary. It totally deepened and expanded my understanding of portraits as art... with purpose and intention... and the ability to capture and communicate relationship and emotion.. and much more of the essence of a person or memory than just a cute or beautiful image. I am truly grateful for this class.” - Juliet Biagi
