I had never heard of a zeno before. But I'm definitely going to give it a try. I took Renee's LLL class this summer...so I see some familiar faces here. ;) The post by J.

Patrick Lewis. This piece stands out to me: "Timeless qualities: ... words that motorboat on metaphor; and a rhythm that refuses to vacate the mind." Thank you, Michelle, for this brief look into Lewis' thoughts and poetry. I am hoping to get acquainted with zenos in the near future but have to deal with my desktop computer issues first since I am trying to compose a language arts association newsletter and the beginning of the Finding Fall Gallery.
