Dan Drake 🦆Today at Macalester's convocation, one of the speakers mentioned the Andrea Gibson poem "What Sucks About the Afterlife" and oh my, it is a lovely, lovely poem:

"On Earth, everyone loved butterflies,
but I trusted the caterpillars more.
I trusted the ones who knew
they were not done growing.
On Earth, I was a work in prograss,
was comforted in knowing
that I had a million mistakes still in me
to learn from."
