I attended a elementary school called CHS, or the Concord Hill School from kindergarten to third grade. One of the art classes that I took there had a project where we had to write a little poem and cut out a picture in the magazine that you liked, and combine the two. The result of my project, had a little picture of an eagle, with a small poem under it that went:
Life and Death
Noise and Silence
I am between
Life and Death
Noise and Silence
Because I am Deaf
It is from this silly poem that I got the idea for my blog title, Life and Deaf. My mom put the poem on the fridge when I came home from CHS, and today it is still there on my fridge. So I have never forgotten my little poem.
this is cool :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteI like this. It's catchy. It clarifies that there is so much in between life and death, noise and silence, it's not all about either or.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great story. As a mom, I got kind of teary-eyes about the thing still hanging on the refrigerator.
ReplyDeleteMy mom says the exact same thing. I asked her to take it down when I was younger and she flatly refused. So it stayed.
