What an inspiring and thoughtful note from a former student. I can’t think of any greater gift to bestow on a teacher. As a former teacher of middle school students, I often wonder what, how much, or if anything I taught touched their lives. This newsletter and your words prompted me to subscribe because I hope I was somewhere close to that kind of teacher, and I want to now be the student of that teacher. If I were to go back to that classroom, Mary Oliver would be at the top of my list of poets to study. Thank you.
