Learning to Love St. Olaf: response to class poetry

Learning to Love St. Olaf

because it smells like cookies

because the windmill sweeps across the sky
because we are sustainable
because wide open spaces are better than crowded buldings

because community is more than a cliche

because you can do anything
or be anything
in the autumn leaves

because you can see the stars at night

because you have worked for this
because you do not yet know who you are
because you not alone

because to start over is to discover
because that was always the point

because it is too late to be cautious
so you throw yourself into the wind
because that is all you can do
