Celebrating the Life of William Shakespeare

“Blessed be the man that spares these stones, / And cursed be he that moves my bones.” -Shakespeare’s Grave

Of all the authors in the history of English literature, few can hope to have a legacy as lasting as that of William Shakespeare. Though many details of Shakespeare’s personal life are hazy, it is thought that he was born in late April during the year 1564 in his father’s house in the small English village of Stratford-upon-Avon. He married his wife Anne Hathaway at the age of 18 before relocating to London to pursue a career as an actor and dramatist.

During the course of his life, Shakespeare drafted what have become some of the most famous works in the English language. Many of his poems and plays, including Romeo and Juliet, The Merchant of Venice and Hamlet, are still considered foundational parts of modern education—and his poetry are still considered foundational parts of modern education and continue to see new interpretations onstage, in literature and in pop culture. Shakespeare is also believed to have contributed nearly 2,000 words to the English language.

Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616 in Stratford-upon-Avon where he is buried in Trinity Church alongside his wife and eldest daughter, Susanna. To this day, the town continues to be a cultural center for Shakespearian history and the site of a full day of events in late April of each year.

Horseshoe Canyon Ranch, Arkansas

We decided to take a fun weekend trip out to the mountains with some friends. We rented a cute cabin that had more than enough space for the four of us. In the middle of the night on our first night there we heard running and looked out and saw one of the horses bolting down the steep hill right beside our cabin. It was amazing the horse didn’t harm itself going so fast in the dark! During the day they have the goats and horses out grazing and roaming around as well as their working dogs, which are more than happy to spend the nights with you in the cabins next to the fireplace. They have frisbee golf, horse back riding, hiking, climbing, and a few other things that we didn’t have time to do. It has amazing views, especially when you hike up to the top of the cliff! Spectacular! If you are into those things you should most definitely visit and enjoy! We had a blast and will be returning for sure! :)

icare4all: Wolves The majestic creatures of lore and folk tales, many times depicted as creatures of evil, have instilled natural fear and caution in human beings since the beginnings of time. You think of glowing eyes and an eerie howl in the night, with sharp fangs and a blood lust. They have been around and survived the human race nearly hunting them to extinction. Why do humans kill all that they simply do not understand? As we know now a days these creatures are highly intelligent and family based. We should envy them for their care giving skills. The ways that they protect their pups and work together to feed the pack, their life mating, their simple will to survive in the harshest of environments is more than enough for me to admire these regal creatures. You can look into their eyes and and see the intelligence staring back at you. Perhaps this is what unnerved the simple minded people of earlier times. Looking into eyes more intelligent than their own. I would give anything to be able to live with and study a pack up close. To see the workings of it for my self, and to be accepted by the pack, would be such a feeling I can’t even describe. I have always had a fondness in my heart for wolves. I’ve read enough science fiction and fantasy growing up that if I could become a wolf I would. To run through the forests seeing, hearing, smelling, hunting with the pack, returning to our basic senses and reveling in them, would be worth it. To know what they know, to know what they are howling about… Would be heaven. Strange as I’m sure you think I am, haha, wouldn’t you like to experience something like this yourself if it was ever possible? Maybe for you it would be transforming into a bird to soar through the sky’s, or a cat to prowl through the night, or a giant bear to feel all powerful and mighty. I yearn to connect with nature and to remember things that our times have forgotten. Sometimes it feels as if I were born in the wrong era, or have lived in others before. That sense of déjà Vu that makes you feel uncertain and question your instincts and memories. Never knowing what or how this all came to be leaves room for the unimaginable and makes my vivid imagination spiral out of control. I love it. I want to soak up as much information as I can and run with it. There are endless possibilities out there and the minds of wolves is just one that sets my mind reeling. So when you see a wolf, perhaps you’ll think of all that the wolf stands for. Lifelong devotion, love, family, fierce protectiveness of their own, playfulness, and a natural hierarchy that we humans have never successfully achieved.
