A blog about matters that strike a chord. Recently I was asked to propose ideas to engage students in an annual education policy conference. One of the ideas we agreed upon was inviting a high school student to introduce the event with a poem that would inspire the audience and create a sense of urgency for action. I suggested that the student recite this poem by Malcolm London presented at TED Talks Education. Tell me what you think! July 29, 2013.

I have always been a girl of the sun. The sight of a new morning. Spilling gold through my window. I always felt I could grab it,. Wrestle it to shape the day to my will. But for your sake,. I can be a girl of the moon. Wandering in foggy half shadows,. And making friends of whispers. I can look up at the moon. And see the difference of a hair between our perspectives. My lips pliable and willing. To form words strange to my ears. Wishing to use them,. And know the stars better.
