Sunning in Survival

Posted on May 27, 2019May 27, 2019 by Richard Newton

In my own self-description, I guess what I'm trying to be is in the moment. And that's pretty new to me. No dawns. Every day just high noon. Sometimes there's a showdown; other times, iced tea. And with each there's a sunset to take a breather and to prepare to count another yesterday.

First Day of School…Again

Posted on August 22, 2018 by Richard Newton
"If you live long enough, you see the same eyes in different people." Maz Kanata from Star Wars.

But I think there's something useful for thinking about the seasons in one's life and what one might do with the time one has. And I find that positively refreshing.

Me when I see people...
A mood.
A lot of profs are working on developing remote #acrel classrooms in relation to #covid_19. I have a list of resources that I curated on the link in the bio. In addition to linking to online material I use frequently, you can find things I’ve developed over the years. I’m also going to keep a running Q&A in my stories if you need help navigating the site or are looking for something in particular. Hopefully, we can help each other find what we need so we can be present where we need to be.
Stay tuned. #IdRoots #ComingAttractions #Equinox #scriptures #anthropology #acrel #socialtheory #literarycriticism #CloseReading #discourseanalysis #intellectualhistory #bookstagram
