“Every individual has a place to fill in the world and is important in some respect whether he chooses to be so or not.” ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne
It was an unseasonably warm day in The Bluegrass. The students, employees, birds, bees and pollen galore was out as if it was full-blown spring. I even went to a meeting outside. Campus feels so alive when these first warm days come along. Students are tucked neatly into their perfect places, laptops, notebooks, cool drinks in hand. Hammocks have become popular at UK. It started three or four years ago with a single hammock (we called him….Hammock Guy). Now they spring up like daffodils. With all the trees around campus, there’s no shortage of swinging spaces. It was sure hard to stay inside today, but it made for gorgeous walks when I could get out. Plus, I think all meetings ought to be outside on pretty days….in hammocks. Let’s make that mandatory.
