“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou 33 years ago, a group of high school students and mentors became a community. We shared, laughed, created, and learned.

Bittersweet moment: after participating in decades of Charles Page High School Commencement Ceremonies, tonight will mark my first time sitting in the audience as a spectator to celebrate my last grandchild walking across the stage as a 2026 CPHS graduate. Congratulations, Kirstyn Baker! Love you!

Someone left this exquisite handmade pine cone flower in the ground by my Victorian Little Free Library. The pic doesn’t do it justice…what a wonderful surprise! 💮

Never doubt there's magic to be found: on my morning walk, accompanied only by the audiobook of Niall Williams' beautiful History of the Rain, I was overjoyed to see a Mimosa tree in full bloom. I spottIed one stunning swallowtail. And then looked up to a sight I'd never seen before. Just. Look. Up.

My LFL, the first in the Sand Springs/Tulsa area, was originally chartered 2013. My son Jeff decided to take on the challenge of building me a new one. As a retired high school English teacher and an avid reader since childhood, I'm overjoyed to again share books with my community. #LFLweek

“…comprehension of literature, on which the study of English is based, is rooted in the pleasure of reading. Sometimes…a beam of light falls on a room of students collectively leaning into a story, with only scuffing sounds of pages…as though all our heartbeats have slowed.”

Thank you Layli Long Soldier: "I am inclined to call this act by the Dakota warriors a poem. There’s irony in their poem. There was no text. “Real” poems do not “really” require words." www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/161866...

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

Advice from a Literature teacher and resister: read your history, but don’t forget your literature. Resistance is woven through the words of abolitionism and feminism and anti-fascism. Read the history and the literature.

I needed to reread this email today. Many teachers will see themselves reflected in Gwydion's words, so I thought I'd share. Teaching matters.

Poor, misinformed, delusional Ryan Walters. I had a Bible in my classroom for anyone who wanted to use it: for literary references, for spiritual content, whatever.
