Final in-class writing assignment: TODAY

I could post the topic right here!  Then you could "walk around" all morning thinking about it - as an artist does about the art that is germinating in the soul.  You can respond by replying to the email you all have in your in box or by commenting on this post.  As soon as I get four, I post or send to you all the "prompt" for the topic about which you will write this afternoon.

An Amazing and Inspiring video !!!
