When I was a child I was an expert on the dates, causes, and number of causalities of all major airline crashes, and the names and ages of people who had died from spontaneous combustion.
That's very cool! Would love to know what school (my cousins went to Southern Miss so I have been there a few times). I didn't know you were an expert on gender. I don't know what I'm an expert on tbh. Some stuff I know, mostly I'm aware of so much I don't know. I do know how the sunrise moves along the horizon during the seasons and how venus will appear in the morning sky for a while, then disappear, then appear in the night sky for a while. I know most of the birds that migrate through my hometown. I know that the purple martins, eastern phoebes, coots, and many ducks return earlier than the warblers. I know that bird migration in the spring is fast and furious and bird migration in the fall is slow, stretched out and languid. I know that turquoise blue is not a color you want to see in storm clouds. I know the best part of the sunrise is often 10-20 minutes before sunrise. I know that just when we think we know, we might see a bobcat in a tree and our brain has to make sense of what it doesn't think should be the case. I know we are in control of almost nothing (or possibly nothing at all). I know that opening to love is also opening to pain, that every single thing is impermanent and that some how it's all worth doing anyway. How do you categorize this stuff I know, lol?

Lol! Of course you were!
And probably where they lived.
I don’t know nuttin’
You know how to be a Goddess, which is really all you need to know.
I have discovered, as I move on through life, just how little I know!
That is also an important thing to know!

Beautiful, Karen! Reading your newsletter, I know you're an expert on all those things and more!
The school is Millsaps College in Jackson. I have many friends from Hattiesburg and have visited there several times.
