Tale
The Call: Candle in the Window — Jessica
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.Macbeth Act 5, scene 5, 19–28

We stopped here on the way home from church. We’ve never been to Disney World, and our family vacations never amount to much, but I hope that my kids will grow up and tell tales about their wonderful childhoods.
I don’t read nearly enough Shakespeare. The kids and I have barely dipped our toes into his amazing worlds. That’s got to change.
We all need more Shakespeare in our lives. Your Maine leaves beat anything at Disney World!
