Awareness and Clarity

Dear Mary,

 

You don't know me, of course (I write mostly books for kids and young adults), and yet when I read a poem of yours I always feels as if you do. In that way you have been with me through every major moment of my adult life, speaking in ways I could not. I, too, live in nature as much as possible, and your poems somehow allow me to see more clearly and feel more deeply what I see and feel there. Thank you for your presence, awareness and clarity in my life! I (and the friends who share your work back and forth when we need it) are glad to learn you are feeling better! We feel better, too.

 

Gratefully,

Stephanie S. Tolan
