      I have also heard it helps with sinus problems but that could go along with anti-inflammatory.

      The subject is hope and the bird metaphor is only defining hope.

  • And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all,
    • Zora Shipochka
       
      The bird "sings" and "never stops"- hope is always possible.

      Dickinson defines hope by comparing it to a bird (a metaphor).
    • Zora Shipochka
       
      Dickinson defines hope by using a metaphor - she compares it to a bird.
  • Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me.
    • Zora Shipochka
       
      Even in the most critical circumstances the bird never asked for a reward in return for its support.

Wise Advice from Mother Teresa - a "do it anyway" poem - 0 views

  • Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway.
  •  
    I found this poem for the first time engraved into a simple wooden plaque. To be honest, I know this is perhaps not so much a poem as a mantra or life philosophy. I still love it.
  •  
    I love this! Thank you for sharing. Some days it is hard to remember the things that are really important. This is a great reminder.

  • LibraryH3lp allows you to transfer questions to other operators within your institution. You’ll be able to see who is signed in and available, IM them to make sure they have time to help, and transfer questions to colleagues with special knowledge and/or shorter lines.

      This would be a nice benefit. We use Meebo now, and to my knowledge, this is not possible.

      Decisions: Often we base them on something other than 'a good choice' or ' the better way'.
  • I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    • Mindy Worman
       
      A sigh. A sad sigh? A happy sigh? I love that he doesn't say. Only the indication of the deep feeling.
  •  
    My favorite Frost poem. It's required for our students, but I often wish they would more deeply realize how much it points to their own lives, and the decisions they make.
  •  
    Although it's a well known poem, I simply had to use this particular Frost poem. It speaks to my soul. Who hasn't made decisions in life, wondering even at the time what the end result would be?

SI Ph.D. Admissions - 0 views

  • Yes! We fund our Ph.D. Students! All Ph.D. students in the School of Information are guaranteed four years of funding, provided they are making satisfactory progress towards their degree. This includes tuition and stipend for four fall and winter terms, and year-round health benefits; it also includes a stipend for two summer terms. Additional funding may be available. We also encourage our students to bring in outside funding. If, for instance, you come to SI with a fellowship that pays for your stipend, we would give you an "incentive" of 10% of the amount we save by not paying for your stipend. We would still pay for your tuition and health benefits. Sue
