"Perishable and delicious, but one we've barely begun to taste"--I really like that, I'm going to have to process that line for awhile. There's so many things that idea can apply to.

Yes!

Today isn't the first time I've heard/read this poem, but I am glad to hear it again. In the last couple weeks, I've been rejected by 3 MFA programs I've applied to, so the poem is very timely for me.

Kapla'a
