By Darshna Katwala, Director of the Long Island Writing Project *Inspired from a shared reading by Barbara Suter and the writings of teachers at an LIWP Poetry Workshop For pleasure For beauty For noticing For being a keen observer and being rewarded For reflection For contemplation For being mindful and meditative and even pause For play For joy For being in the moment and carefree For drama For love For being able to juggle the emotional roller coaster For purpose For what matters For being human and bringing empathy to the equation For complexities For the conundrums For being able to make sense of the world and being cathartic For seeds For plants For being able to imagine and express ideas Here’s to an exchange of words and becoming and connecting Here’s to creativity Here’s to engineering your own learning Here’s to creating equity for all learners What’s your mantra? Find your meaning

Darshna, I'm so glad you could be present for my workshop. I love the fact that you responded with poetry to my presentation thereby embodying the heart of what I was communicating...that poetry can be applied to all situations and ideas. You proved it!
