This week I have not slept a lot! But! The reason is not insomnia… no instead I have watched every minute of the DNC each night. There were so many amazing speakers and last night Madam Vice President was the capstone of the event. (If you missed it, you can watch it here!)
However, one beautiful poetess really captured my attention. (Okay, Tim Walz and his family did too… don’t we all just adore Gus Walz?)
In case you missed the glorious Amanda Gorman… I am sharing her new poem, This Sacred Scene. You can find the text of it here… I have been reading it over and over. But hearing and watching her recite it is a real treat.
Have a great weekend everyone! See you all back here on Monday with my word update!
Yes to ALL of this. Last night was pretty amazing.
I am feeling much more hopeful than I was a month ago. I don’t know that it will gain them any votes, but I do love that Democrats seem to know their poets!
Thank you for sharing Amanda Gorman’s poem! She’s so amazing. I didn’t watch every minute of the convention but did watch all of last night. Perfection!
Enjoy your weekend, Kat 🙂
The whole DNC convention was so hopeful, so amazing, and so full of JOY!
“While we all love freedom, it is love that frees us all.” — yes! She is so inspiring.
