Beyond the Gates
One is style. Some students have a gift and I always tell them,
“Don’t squander it. You’re very lucky to have a gift and if you
waste it, that’s a shame.”
Other students may not be as gifted, but they are more deter-
mined. I’ve seen some of that where they work hard to achieve
that. There are different levels.
I possess a modest gift for poetry, and I know that, but ulti-
mately, it’s still a gift.
Some of the best poets will be found in the primary school here
at Keystone. These students are so whimsical and they know
how to let go. It’s what Picasso said when someone criticized his
work and said that it looked as if a child drew it. He responded,
“That is the work of returning to art.”
