I am a quote person; inspirational quotes have always "inspired" me. Three little volumes of quotations have a reserved spot on my classroom bookshelves. From time to time, students will journal on selected quotes. One of my favorites is an anonymous one: "Three essentials for happiness are something to love, something to do, and something to hope for." The poet Emily Dickinson used the metaphor of a bird to describe the effect of hope. Thanks, Emily, for this lovely image. Hope is "the thing with feathers that perches in our soul-and sings the tune without the words--and never stops at all." ...Right on, Emily.
