Native writer Anna Lee Walters was taught: 2 parts to speech: the words & silence and that understanding comes during the silence. #sunchat

Memorizing poetry has value- buckets of value. #sunchat

BrilldeRamirez Apr 2 @ 9:54 AM EDT

Was that memorizing a few deeply meaningful lines of poetry or other writing or just memorizing facts for tests?
