- About Me:
- As a teaching assistant, I have the opportunity to share with my students a reverence for all things natural and our responsibility in maintaining some sense of balance. I enjoy nature, writing stories and poems, nature, reading, and nature. I live in a little cabin in the woods built by my husband and myself. The native animals allow me to co-exist with them and we maintain a mutual respect for each other.
If one species ceases to exist ANYWHERE, it affects ALL.
If one resource ceases to be found, if affects ALL.
If we are, indeed, the 'most intelligent species', then, "SLOW DOWN".
Enjoy and preserve what the Earth has given us.
- Occupation:
- I am a teaching assistant in Deaf Education.
- Birthday:
- April 12, 1951

Changing Seasons
Changing Seasons

A New Morning
TO SMELL THE EARTH HAVING BEEN REFRESHED BY RAIN
TO HEAR THE BIRDS SING THEIR MORNING SONG
TO VIEW THE DAWN CREEPING UP ON THE NIGHT
TO FEEL SO SMALL WHEN YOU ARE THERE ALL ALONE
TO SEE THE MIST RISE SLOWLY OFF WARM TREES
AND THE FLOWERS RAISE THEIR HEADS TO THE LIGHT
TO FEEL THE WET GRASS 'NEATH YOUR BARE FEET
AHH...THIS EARTH IS A POET'S DELIGHT
