Ten decades
Faces. Names. People.
They arrive and move on
like ripples at the shore.
What do they carry with them
from this common experience,
this uncommon place?
They carry both
The accountable lessons of learning
and the immeasurable connections of community.
So look backward, look forward.
(We are of a place
as much as we are of a time!)
The bonds of who we were together
serve to strengthen us when we must be
who we are on our own.
The distance of years cannot erase
that arc of our learning
or the meaning of place.
