Quite the exquisite world view! Thank you for the images of purity & kindness, for reminding

me what an absurdly beautiful world we live in, amidst the madness.

I spent again time with your words and photographs today, just now. Soothing and most of all real, tangible, of the Earth and mind, and human potential for honoring it. The holding of little hands, enjoying the water breaking and the sun. And all in the poem and photos. The trees and the light. Gorgeous. Need this a lot right now. 3 surgeries-1.2.25 led to ER, 6 days hospital, and big fixes 3.5.25. All ok now, but my hubby's and my processing. Like the race is finally over. All the more reason these works filled me with joy and peace. Thank you again, Matt. Constance
