I just put up a new blog post with an explanation of what I've been up to, but for some reason it didn't send it out to my subscribers. Argh. Perhaps my blog gave up on me, thinking I'd thrown in the towel. Here's a link to the new post in case you get this message from me and you're interested: http://animprobablelife.com/2014/04/14/off-and-running-something-new-to-share/ Thanks for checking in on me! By the way, I just noticed that my reply comment to your Martin Luther King cinquain never got posted. My blog gremlins are working overtime these days! I was blown away by your poem! Absolutely stunning! Melissa…so much to share…so few hours in the day!

One might
Look away, not
at the Face of change for
Fear of what we might do ourselves.
Look. See.

Fear tears
open the wound
and buries the Courage
until someone steps up to bat
and scores

A man
did just that, he
stepped up, he scored, he gave
his heart, his life, his dream, so we
breathe free

Our job
is to keep that
dream alive, hope alive
courage alive so that All may
breathe free

And his
Dream will live on
changing and saving and
Martin Luther King, Jr., we
thank you
