thanks to a heavy blanket of snow across the city of dallas today, there is NO SCHOOL! i'm so happy to stay in my fuzzy warm blanket, reading and drinking hot peppermint tea. i haven't seen this much snow since i was a little girl and i'm loving it.
I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
-from The Summer Day, by Mary Oliver
