A Place for Poetry?

Law school doesn't seem like a place for poetry. And, it doesn't seem very "beautiful" either. This reminds me of one time when some chick told me, "Jackie, remind me never to let myself do anything that's not beautiful." Of course, I cast her request aside as another one of those preachy new age declarations about "balance" and "inner peace." Maybe that's why I'm going to law school. Also, ugly things tend to make rather nice poetry, ironic as it may seem.

So really, the reason to do hard things in life is for the story they produce. That's the reason that lots of people do hard things, anyway. I don't frequently orally verbalize my "hard things" stories to people. Though, I do write them down, as they are memories worth recording and keeping.
