Dear Mary,
As always, my life is enhanced on days I receive one of your poems.
Thank you, Barbara. I’m realizing that part of being a citizen witness is willingness to have my heart broken — and then keeping it open to be broken again. Hugs to you too.
Mary, my heart is breaking… and breaking open in this dichotomy. Thank you for your words so carefully put together … they reach out and across to hold us. Deep gratitude , Kim
