My jump style is more Kriss Kross or rope than anything, but this Russian dance troupe shows incredible skill and interpretation of ‘jump’. If jumping to the library is in your plans, why not see a giant SLC temple made out of Lego?

What happens after you find a baby abandoned in the woods? This story follows up with baby and then-14 year old finder. What happens if you’re not exactly an introvert or an extrovert? You could be an ambivert. Ever considered why people draw? What happens when people draw? This dad shares drawings of his son in ICU, and what those sketches meant and continue to mean.

Do you have a long-term project that seems to be going nowhere? Here’s a clock that may reassure and encourage you in your efforts.  Do you like smelling the roses? So does this little lizard.

Did you hear that prisoners beat a Harvard debate team at debating? Consider why you shouldn’t be surprised. Continuing the influence of teachers, here’s photos of classrooms around the world.

A 77-year old woman is well known, loved and celebrated for 12 years of feeding the homeless and hungry in her area home cooked meals.  Another woman gave out 20 backpacks filled with winter clothing, and a year later is planning to give out 200 backpacks in one night.

First draft poetry inspired by the comfy, happy lizard.

Curve

Take time to smell the roses.

Sure –

unless you’re allergic to bees

in which case the advice

is death defying adrenalin potential.

But I can take time

– sometimes

For the slow sexy waltz of sunset

The quiet, proud swelling

of my to be read bookpile

The drenching fizz

of rocking out to that song

that makes you groove in the car at the traffic lights –

And still be delighted

that amid the thorns

and mortal, sucking pesticides

We can all be lizards

dodging impalement

And doze,

comfy drunk

in unexpected

calm.
