"Introduction"
"This little book contains gifts of inspiration that I have been given. The poetry on these pages was written over the course of many years; from the time I was a teenager, through my young adult years, to these my middle years. World events, ecological concerns, my personal trials, tribulations, learning experiences, and my growth into the woman I have become influenced these writings. How I see things, how I feel, who I am is reflected in these pages. If anything written here touches you, I am grateful."
