Trace Haythorn, Executive Director/CEO |
I never knew Emilie (Toni) Wolf. In fact, we would love to hear stories that you might have about her. Toni died last summer, and while she was never active with our foundation while she was living, Toni left ACPE over $150,000. My only regret is that we don't have the opportunity to say thank you to her in this life.
Toni's gift is a powerful example of how we can never take anyone in our association for granted. A lot of attention goes to those who are active in leadership, especially the board, certification, and accreditation.

Last week was William Butler Yeats birthday. The New York Times ran the following in honor of the occasion:
"Written in 1919, the poem is considered a towering achievement of Modernist poetry. Yeats drew on Christian apocalyptic imagery to capture the violent chaos of the political turmoil in Europe at the time, and to warn of further dangers on the horizon. So often have the poem's phrases been incorporated into other works of art and literature that The Paris Review has
called it "the most thoroughly pillaged piece of literature in English."

"The Second Coming" by William Butler Yeats
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
