The end of summer… the beginning of classes… and questions from students that keep coming back every year…
Q.: I could not be here last class, did I miss anything?
A.: from a poem by Tom Wayman:
Nothing. When you are not present
how could something significant occur?Everything. Contained in this classroom
is a microcosm of human existence
assembled for you to query and examine and ponder
This is not the only place such an opportunity has been
gatheredbut it was one place
And you weren’t here
