Reading
I choose books and articles that engage me.
I read with a sense of urgency and stamina.
I check my understanding along the way. I want to maintain meaning as I read.

Poem of the Week: Thumbprint
By Eve Merriam
In the heel of my thumb
are whorls, whirls, wheels
in a unique design:
What a treasure to own!
My own flesh, my own feelings.
No other, however grand or base,
can ever contain the same.
My signature,
thumbing the pages of my time.
My universe key,
my singularity.
Impress, implant,
I am myself,
of all my atom parts I am the sum.
And out of my blood and my brain
I make my own interior weather,
my own sun and rain. Imprint my mark upon the world,
whatever I shall become.
