YOUTH It’s laughter on the corner, and jumping from a roof. It’s ice cream in the drugstore and giggles from a booth. It’s mostly sunshine and suddenly it’s rain. It’s looking at a baby and wondering how it came. It’s climbing tall, tall trees, and having a game of ball. It’s dressing up in mother’s clothes and playing with a doll. It’s sliding down a hill, and swimming in a creek. It’s painting bright pictures and skipping down the street. It’s making castles in the sand and fishing with a string. It’s playing soldiers with a sword and pretending you’re a king. It’s a boy with bare feet and a lollipop. It’s a girl with a dirty face and gumdrops. It’s a picnic, it’s a store, it’s fun galore It’s Youth. Jacqueline Richardson

To Karl Drerup: i Cneak to us of I caching. “Then said a teacher, I No min can1 reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge. . c . The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness. If he is indeed wise he docs not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.” Inc copyrigh,r° 2J“y Rene! ’6™ Permission of Alfred A.
