Oh dearest sister, I love the direction of your last few blogs!
After we spoke on Friday, I went to the River Oaks Theatre and saw "Becoming Jane" -- Jane Austen's own story. I was moved by her story and loved seeing the long ago traditions, fashions, ways of speaking and interacting. I know there's a visualization in this somewhere. Thanks. Poet
I spoke to Robyn about my feelings after I heard some rotten things about our government and its shenanigans ... and I had to work to get my state of mind back to a positive track. When I did, I started looking for the Suzanne Duranceau illustration I had seen years ago. The trilogy is outstanding ... it has paradise, then the depleted and sad globe we have now, then a globe that is farmed and industrialized, but not depleted or overused.
your posts are wonderfully life giving. I celebrate a vision of our earth renewed and healed. She is our exalted mother.

This is a hopeful sign at the last hour.
I'm going to see it.
