Not an Island

I am going to make an addendum to yesterday's post.  In this cold cold weather, with not much to do with my not-summery-summer-holiday, I am extremely grateful for the small activities which engage my days, particularly ones that force me out of the house.  Though I said they were, "books and coffee" are not enough, not for me anyway.  I need book club, my non-practicing students, babysitting, church, grocery shopping,  the library, other people.  

In the great words of the English clergyman, John Donne, "No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main."
