Again, thank you. You have created beautiful gifts to share. Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts. I had the spinal fusion and am recovering at home now. Often, the pain is intense, but I try not to let my spirit get carried away with it. Call it Taoism, Zen or just getting to the essential, as Mary O. does. From Wild Geese: "Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on." This poem is by my bedside. It keeps me connected, keeps me grounded.

Thank you. You have created such beautiful, creative imagery to share. Her poems remind me of the essential and how important it is to live in the present, embrace the natural world, quiet the mind, to be free and clear in thought and intent.

I am having back surgery in 1 week. I am afraid but my spirit is at peace.

@mypaldak5 Thank you for your note about Mary, and her work.

I am keeping you in my thoughts as you progress through the

effects of your operation. I know the feelings associated with

recoveries and there are days it's nice to know that even a

stranger keeps you in his daily thoughts. Recover quickly!

A beautiful and moving rendition of Mary Oliver's poem. Treasureleaf you have done another wonderful job. I always look forward to enjoying your work. As a technical writer I often leave the tech world and take a break by viewing one of your works. They relax me and cleanse my overworked brain. Thanks
