The Beauty in a Silkworm One summer, when I was about 7 years old, we visited my family in India. My dad showed us the house where he was born that was also near the park where he saw Gandhi (yes, THAT Gandhi). In the back room was this large glass container that, to me, simply looked dirty and filled with cobwebs or something unidentifiable. He explained that those were silkworms our family raises to be processed into silk threads that make beautiful clothing.  To this day, I am amazed at how something that looks like it should be swept up [...]

It’s All About Perspective This past weekend, City Neighbors staff had their first days off of school since the start of the school year. So far this year, every day that students didn’t have school, staff had progress report conferences or meetings. Some folks might complain that a four-day weekend was too short or went by too quickly… and some folks might say that four days without an alarm clock or schedule was glorious. It’s all about how you look at it. We have 15 days of school between today and Winter Break.  How might we use that time?  How can [...]
