Spring Festival Day at Liberty School. So many beautiful flowers. The day is sunny but cool following a day of showers. On the lawn in front of the school, the maypole stands against the sky. A magnificent sight in the eyes of a child. Brightly colored streamers hang trembling in the wind while the dancers stand and wait for the music to begin. It all seems so long ago. There is no maypole now. For one reason or another it has disappeared somehow, filfilling some misguided duty to create a world bereft of beauty. Ida Werrett |

Too bad that simple acts of beauty and celebration have faded into the past...we need so much more of that sort of thing. I'd love to see one for real. ~L |
