As I See It
Miss Maudie explains to Scout why Atticus declared that it was a sin to kill a mockingbird: “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out of us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”

Taught tonight without a mask. And I got great questions
And remembered why I love my work.
Because of the discovery. Like an Azalea in March, that you planted.

Letter from John Adams to Abigail Adams, 3 July 1776
“You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. — I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. — Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not.”

Driving home, I’ve often looked for this long abandoned garden.
I made photographs in June of 2014. Sedge and Pine have taken over.
And I can hear Tift Merrit, singing about the view from her window in Raleigh
Singing about self and soul
