What are your feelings on John Donne
If I had to marry in secret and subsequently sired 12 children, I'd write paradoxical poetry too.
That said, his poems on death and decay have a certain unconcerned quality to them that compare men to clocks and that's nothing if not profound for one who was forced into the priesthood.

Advent meditation 2
On not looking over your shoulder and comparing yourself to others.
One of the things I have learned about myself in the last year or so is that I can sometimes tend to get very despondent, literally down on myself, very easily. I notice that it doesn’t take much for me to forget that I am lucky, not to mention extremely privileged.
One of the ways this manifests itself is that I find myself looking over my shoulder at the achievements and activism of others and…

One of my 12 yo students came up to me today and said:
"I have a great idea for an invention. It's a shotgun, but instead of bullets, it's filled with seeds, and you only shoot it at the ground."
Just in case you needed some perspective.

Poetry Clothing: A Poem
I dress my body in lines of verse, each syllable a piece of cloth, a garment woven of words diverse, to hide my nakedness from sloth.
I choose a shirt of haiku’s form, its brevity my first layer, then don a jacket that is warm, with sonnets stitched with love and prayer.
My trousers made of rhyming verse, adorned with quatrains bright and bold, the fabric smooth, like fluent speech, enough to…

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
#every wise man's son doth know#what is love? t'is not hereafter#present mirth hath present laughter#dylan thomas#poetry#judaism#am yisrael chai#jumblr#jewish#jewblr#i stand with israel#antisemitism#I was ready to go gentle into that good night#to die unmarried and childless like every millennial#but the burn and rage of antisemites woke my love of day#I will rage rage against the dying of the light#now i'll marry and have as many kids as I can#and teach them to love judaism and knowledge and wisdom and life and love and kindness with all their hearts and souls#I want them to get DRUNK on the love of life and living#and learn to love jewish life as much as I#we will rage rage against the dying of the light#congratulations antisemites#you woke the love of life and living in this jew#I will make my time on earth count#and make sure there are those who will come after me#we will RAGE -- RAGE against the dying of the light
