Thank you, Marjorie! What a strange process it is to allow a stream of unbridled images, thoughts, and words to spill forth, then to filter and adjust that stream, and then to share it with you. Always a pleasure!

How do you do this? Where do poems come from? So beautiful and touching, they flip me from past to present to future & all I love doing is enjoy the ride 🧡
