[The Stage is on Fire] is a page-turner in which, much like life, there are no easy answers and yet each step of the journey yields insight and hope. This work of heart must not be missed!

Katie Steedly’s first-person piece [The Unspeakable Gift] is a riveting retelling of her participation in a National Institutes of Health study that aided her quest to come to grips with her life of living with a rare genetic disorder. Her writing is superb.

I thank you … It is the authenticity of your “class notes”; and it is the delicacy and skill with which you present the nuances of classroom life and the actuality of your students’ and fellow teachers’ lives.

At the Spring Dawn
Ah! It is good to be alive, good to love,
At the dawn,
At the spring dawn.
From Angelina Weld Grimke’s, “At the Spring Dawn“
How good it is to be alive. How good it is to be alive. How good it is to be alive.
How good it is to love. How good it is to love. How good it is to love. How good it is love.
How good is the spring dawn. How good is the spring dawn. How good is the spring dawn.
Gratitude for it all.
Deep down thankfulness for joy and sorrow, for beautiful scars, for seasons and tides, for sun and moon, for story and connection, for curiosity and beginner’s mind, for empty bowls and promises, for wisdom and knowing, for birth and death, for seeing and listening and tasting and feeling, for standing still and moving, for breathing, for dawn.
About Katie
