I came across this quote and thought of the many students sharing that the best part of their zoo week was the time they spent observing their animal. What a gift this time is. In densely packed classrooms, students seldom have the chance for quiet reflection.

"I grew up with the confidence that the greatest privilege was to be alone and have all the time you wanted. That was the cream of existence. I owe everything that I have done to the fact that I am very much at ease being alone. It's a good predisposition in a writer." Marilynne Robinson
