4/14: so thankful for

The smell of roses surrounding me when I left the house this morning and when I returned to it this evening.


Other sources of gratitude today include:
- the fact that some students came to chalk poems around the fountain plaza this morning
- the opportunity to teach Ovid in my Myth course
- my decision to go to a Philosophy talk this evening and learn about the Earl of Shaftesbury (I could have gone to a poetry reading instead, but I think in this instance I made the right-for-me choice--I really felt like I needed to learn something completely new and off my beaten track...plus how often do you get to hear about a philosopher who worried about the illustrations for his book as much as he worried about the written text?)
