Lessons About Guerilla Filmmaking--And Life--From... →
I love this idea. Read the article and check out the short video. The film must be excellent and I’ll have to keep my eyes open for it.

I can see and feel this poem. I love it. I discovered Ted Kooser through the bog of Patti Digh at 37 Days, when she blogged a poem of his called “Mother”. I ended up buying...
