Climate Justice and Injustice, a Poem by H.F.G.

Hen's poem for school was selected to be included in a recent issue of NW Kids, a free local parenting magazine. His imagery is pretty great!

Squeaky clean reading

Brought to you by the makers of Oy Vey Moments: 

"For all the hubbub, Jared and Kirsten Maughan, the couple who founded Clean Reader, say the app began innocuously enough. Their daughter had returned from school one day upset with the language in a book she was reading for class."

The nosy neighbor in me wants to know the book this girl was reading and the language that she found objectionable. 

I think this app is horrible. Squeaky clean reading. Oy vey.

Sage advice for the new year

Finish each day and be done with it.

You have done what you could.

Some blunders and absurdities

no doubt have crept in; 

forget them as soon as you can.

Tomorrow is a new day;

begin it well and serenely

and with too high a spirit

to be cumbered with

your old nonsense.

This day is all that is

good and fair.

It is too dear, 

with its hopes and invitations

to waste a moment on yesterdays.

--Ralph Waldo Emerson, in a letter to his daughter
