The month of May was crazy. A few things stuck out, however. Here they are!

Favorite Videos:

This one, on teacher shortage and burnout, is pretty tough. True. And more than a bit worrisome.

This one, however, of New Yorkers trying to cross the street during the Marathon is just fun.

The most beautiful of them all, though, is this one from Mike Olbinski, entitled, Niltsa: A Monsoon Film.

Everything Sad is Untrue, by Daniel Nayeri

“Does writing poetry make you brave? It is a good question to ask. I think making anything is a brave thing to do. Not like fighting brave, obviously. But a kind that looks at a horrible situation and doesn’t crumble. Making anything assumes there’s a world worth making it for”

Let me know of anything you’ve been reading, watching, listening to, or have been inspired by!

Happy June!
