No Thought For The Week - Issue #4
Hello to new subscribers and thanks to this week's contributors of the Creative Nudge weekly newsletter. It's good to have you here and so encouraging to read your responses.
On Thursdays, I invite my connections to share a "THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK"
"Sorry I don't have any," wrote Jason Arbiter.
"Thank you for not sharing your thoughts today," I replied.
"It’s a pleasure. I’ve got loads of the same non-thoughts I can share."
Nobody else responded, something in the air.
Rather than a penny for yours, be the first to reply with a thought to receive a free ticket to my 1st Monday Learning event, listed below. By the way, all subscribers benefit from a 25% discount.
Playlist For March
from Love's Labours Lost by William Shakespeare
When daisies pied and violets blue
And lady-smocks all silver-white
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
Do paint the meadows with delight,
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men; for thus sings he,
Cuckoo;
Cuckoo, cuckoo: Oh word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear!
When shepherds pipe on oaten straws,
And merry larks are plowmen’s clocks,
When turtles tread, and rooks, and daws,
And maidens bleach their summer smocks,
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men; for thus sings he,
Cuckoo;
Cuckoo, cuckoo: Oh word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear!
(via Poetry Foundation)

Weird Nostalgia
"Google Tame Alligators. I was so excited to read about them because I went to see them in their house with Granny Stamp when I was about 5 years old. Pete didn’t believe me.
