From outside my house,
only the faint distant sound
of gentle breezes
wandering through bamboo leaves
in the long evening silence.
Late evening finally comes:
I unlatch the door
and quietly
await the one
who greets me in my dreams.
- Otomo no Yakamochi, Japanese poet (from Two Tanka)
Hello!
Happy Week Nine, and happy first day of March! Time really flies (especially during a short month like February)...
This past week we held our Meeting 3: Black-Led Research in COMS. It was an intimate and thought-provoking meeting - thank you SO MUCH to our attendees for coming in with so much to share and an open mind to learn. Read our full-meeting recap here to find the resources we shared and the group's reflection on how we can better support underrepresented voices in our own COMS community.
Meet us this Wednesday, March 3rd from 11:10-12pm for our Origami and Tea Social! Join COMS Club for some easy crafts and some reflection on mindfulness. All you need to bring is a sheet of paper and a some good company 💜Find our full meeting and event calendar here.(We will also be giving out the first details about Exec Board Recruitment for the 2021-22 academic year at the start of the social - don’t miss it!)
Our final general meeting of Winter Quarter will be Meeting 4: Sports COMS with Dr. MLB on March 10th from 11:10-12pm. More details to come about that soon.
