Wow Lynn, what a sweet surprise when I pulled your bus card out of my purse!
When I first contacted you here...I did not realize that you were the same artist
I met at Rick's.... I was just so taken with the beauty of your images...now I
understand what you meant when you said your studio was amazing...
it must be like a cacoon of light! I'm really looking forward to experience your work live.

A Blessing for the Woods
by Michael S. Glaser

Before I leave, almost without noticing,
before I cross the road and head toward
what I have intentionally postponed—

Let me stop to say a blessing for these woods:
for crows barking and squirrels scampering,
for trees and fungus and multi-colored leaves,

for the way sunlight laces with shadows
through each branch and leaf of tree,
for these paths that take me in,
for these paths that lead me out.
