I GO AMONG TREES by Wendell Berry
I go among trees and sit still. All my stirring becomes quiet around me like circles on water. My tasks lie in their places where I left them, asleep like cattle. Then what is afraid of me comes and lives a while in my sight. What it fears in me leaves me, and the fear of me leaves it. It sings, and I hear its song. Then what I am afraid of comes. I live for a while in its sight. What I fear in it leaves it, and the fear of it leaves me. It sings, and I hear its song. After days of labor, mute in my consternations, I hear my song at last, and I sing it. As we sing, the day turns, the trees move. //www.youtube.com/embed/OkaElZK6vOA?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

Education is an investment, and one of the most critical investments we can make. This is true not only for the United States, but for countries around the world.
