Welcome to Literature Studies! 

I AM

I am a free spirit living in an encumbered world.

I long to ride across the open meadow with the wind blowing through my hair. 

I want to reach the mountaintop and gaze at the majestic valley below.

I desire to hear birdsong on the wind and creeks babbling while the hoofbeats beneath me echo my heart's song.

I am a free spirit living in an encumbered world. 

I rise each day to face the challenges that others have placed before me.

I climb over obstacles and hurdle ravines to bring the joy of learning to others.

I feel compassion for my children who are shedding the joys of childhood in their quest for adulthood.

I am saddened by the egocentric nature and materialistic desires that abound in our society today.

I am a free spirit living in an encumbered world.
