It may be that when we no longer know what to do
Back to Mayo. Please pray for Marilyn, my m-i-l.

“Miss Mason looked on education as something between the child’s soul and God. Modern education tends to look on it as something between the child’s brain and the examination board. I think that covers the issues at stake; it is part of the whole modern policy of quick returns, of the substitution of immediate and temporary values for ultimate and absolute ones.” – Monk Gibbon

Copied this poem out for my husband. Will copy it in my writer's notebook as well. Such a keeper! I need to comment more. You have such a fine way of inspiring, Nancy! I don't know your Mayo story (you said "back" to Mayo), but I have never before or since experienced such care and attention to every-single-detail. We were there (in Rochester) with our 3yo son many years ago. Praying for healing for your m-i-l, Marilyn. Thank you, Nancy.
