We stopped for coffee, breakfast for the train, and lunch treats for our book bags
For learning day at Columbia's TCRWP
This wall art made me think about connection
How we all pour into each other to light up new ideas
Make brighter those at first glimmer
Drew Dudley talked in this morning's keynotes about how we are all leaders
because we ask questions
live with Day 1 excitement over and over
remember names and stories of others and
create 'lollipop moments' that matter years later
Everyday leaders step up to make a difference over and over
Light
intertwined
with
connection
and
ideas
and
people
growing
together
with our stories
passions
lives
with
Light

ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us live vicariously through your visit today!
ReplyDeleteI love to read about this gathering each year on SOLC! So glad there are people like you that blog about it so that the rest of us can enjoy the wisdom shared.
ReplyDeleteSo happy all y'all are posting from your TCRWP experience.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
Love how you were able to make a connection from a piece of art. Lovely poem. Hope you had fun at the TCRWP reunion! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the metaphor you created from your visual inspiration - especially these two lines "How we all pour into each other to light up new ideas /Make brighter those at first glimmer" I couldn't get there today, so I always appreciate learning through others. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteJust watched the lollipop moment video. Your poem is so powerful. It makes me think of the power of connecting here during our month of slicing. Glad you went to TCRWP and saw that wall art that spurred your thinking about connection.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you made so many of your own connections here! I attended the June writing institute last summer and have applied to reading and writing for this summer and wait with crossed fingers. Lucky you to be there yesterday!
ReplyDeletethis is my first visit to you, probably the late night slicing. The reunions are such a magical, uplifting day. You summed it up beautifully.
