Oh my, be still my heart! Hafiz' poetry... hits right into the core. LOVE LOVE LOVE... and you're such a tease, dear one. Our hearts craving more will have to await January 8th!

Right?? That Hafiz seriously had our number (maybe all of us??). That poem fells me every time. Happy it spoke to you too. So very glad you’re with me Amy❤️

Sumaya , your writing is so fresh, lush, and inviting! Thank you for a vicarious trip through Butte this morning! I can hardly wait until January for the next addition, although Hafiz’s poem has my heart in my throat! Kudos to you, friend, for taking this journey with your heart in your pen!!!

This already feels like an extraordinary story Sumaya, and you left me waiting, on a literary cliff edge, for the rest... and though I promised myself no more subscriptions, I dont want to miss part II 🙏🏼

Susie! I’m so glad to have you with me! I’ve been reading your posts and am delighted to find a kindred spirit who loses herself in the woodlands as I do. Your writing is a delight and your photos bring tears to my eyes! Thanks for sharing your world and thanks for peeking in on mine❤️

Oh goodness, you touch my heart with your tears Sumaya, truly. Often I am in tears when I capture the beauty we are blessed with on this magical earth we inhabit.

I am always glad to find other who sees what I do with such passion and emotion. Thank you I am so glad to have found you also... Memoire makes such special reading in my very humble opinion. ♥️xx

What a joy to hear your entry to CB and the gorgeous watercolor mirroring the locale. Love the tension you set up for the next part of the series. Special to learn the about your work at Western. The universe does meet us and guide our journey for sure. Enjoy the break til Jan. We all await the continued poetry of your prose.

“The universe does meet us and guide our journey”…Yes!! It really does. I especially love how you said “meet us.” I could unpack that in so many ways and on so many levels! And I love it! Thanks for sharing, Sandy❤️
