We had a wonderful time visiting with Susan in March as part of our graduate course on the Theory & Practice of Transformative Learning & Education! Students were invited to write haikus and contribute photos as part of their experience; as you'll see below, we were all able to see differently, see more, and reimagine education and learning in this special space.
Bare fig branches wait,
Wishes tied into the wood -
Greens begin again.
Farewell honey bees
Embracing what comes and goes
Welcome buttercups
Within orchard field
Sprouts I knew only on plates
I wish to know more
Dew drops on dead leaves
They sparkle underneath green
Brown green brown green leaves
Green tips push through sleep
Drinking gentle rain in March
A quiet spring starts
Garden of Eden
Brigid births the orchard green
Her warp and her weave
Brigid births the orchard green
Her warp and her weave
Itty bitty vineI wrap around the tree trunkUp and up I go
Memories of sun
Summer days, now winter reigns
Frozen fruit remains
Summer days, now winter reigns
Frozen fruit remains
Hidden gates, I pause.
Grass suggest unfamiliar paths.
Leaves teach me their names
Look at my branches
It may look like nothing is there
My roots tell my tale
Leafless silver limb Pressed together in the
cold
Frosted wind slips through the grove
Dry stems, brittle leaves.
In the elderberry buds
spring gathers its breath
In the elderberry buds
spring gathers its breath
