Thursday, August 11 from Santa Clara, CA<\/p>\n

Hi,<\/p>\n

This California morning welcomes in a third and last day where I am helping to welcome back some Santa Clara U undergrads just back from 8 weeks, some in India, some and sub-Saharan Africa where they lived with and met ordinary people who taught them how to live in, for them, new places in the world. \u00a0By their reports and slides yesterday it looks as if their village hosts did good things for them and allowed the students to do some good things in return. \u00a0Today begins this year\u2019s tutorial next-step process for women and men from various places in the world, \u00a0they will be welcomed to campus today and, I think, one-on-one tutorial sessions begin tomorrow.<\/p>\n

I am glad to be here. \u00a0Too busy yesterday to post a poem. \u00a0This morning, over oatmeal, I found a few minutes. \u00a0My first favorite poet \u2014 if memory serves \u2014 makes a good short post.<\/p>\n

Gerard Manley Hopkins, sj moves me and many of the readers of this list. \u00a0Blessings on your day wherever you are living it.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Post, \u00a0\u201cPied Beauty\u201d \u00a0Gerard Manley Hopkins, sj<\/strong><\/p>\n

GLORY be to God for dappled things\u2014
\nFor skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
\nFor rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
\nFresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches\u2019 wings;
\nLandscape plotted and pieced\u2014fold, fallow, and plough;
\nAnd \u00e1ll tr\u00e1des, their gear and tackle and trim.<\/p>\n

All things counter, original, spare, strange;
\nWhatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
\nWith swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
\nHe fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
\nPraise him.<\/p>\n
