I’ve read your poem years ago—loved it then and even more this time!

Especially,”next time, take someone with you.”

Loved your whimsy in “Light”!

Are you familiar with the "Plowshare Prayer"? I especially love the Damien Riel version on youtube. It has carried me through a number of hard passages.

Oh man, Elizabeth, I needed these poems this morning! Grounding in connection with each other, not going it alone, reading words that shine through the lies, opening our eyes to the sunrise. Thank you
