Newuser, thank you for your wonderful contributions to this thread. I appreciate it. Maya Angelou is one of my favorites and so is Robert Frost. There is one by Angelou, I teach my small students for Black history month. "Life Does Not Frighten Me At All!" I have not been able to respond as I have been working on a portfolio that requires 500 pages of writing. I only visit Sajha, when I desperately need a break but feel too guilt-ridden to leave my computer.
