Media, PA – “Gratitude” – The Walden School – Oct 12, 2000

Those of you who’ve been on the road with us from the git go know how much playing for the kids at The Walden School in Media, PA means to me. Walden in Media is my happy place, my refuge, my spa day. No matter how I arrive—exhausted, heartbroken, or road-burned—the kids meet me exactly where I am, with open arms and endless love. They lift me up, erase the sorrow from my face with their hugs, and bring me back to my core.

Today, they outdid themselves. They were waiting for me on the lawn, holding acrostic poems they’d created after our last visit in Spring. They couldn’t have known just how much I needed this—how deeply their sweet words would heal me. Each poem was a gift, a priceless reminder of why I do what I do. It was exactly what I needed after this long, winding, backbending, challenging year on the road.

Though I could pour my heart out forever, I’ll let the photos do the talking. To the kids at Walden, thank you for restoring my spirit, my sanity, and my soul. You are my light.

Listening to acrostic poems

Thank you, Walden kids. You are simply THE BEST.
