When I travel, the adventure gives me an opportunity for renewal of vision. A chance to see new things and experience different communities. Going to Portland, Oregon is a subtle change from the ordinary. Enough to revive this woman's heart and spirit. Art and poetry require energy and getting away once and awhile really makes a difference.
A forest has many faces
The daylight plays upon the surface
Leaves and flowers open, skyward
But at night, the unseen moves
Traveling along the holes and crevices
Communing with earth's mysteries
Magic inside the dark, the quiet, deep down
We are like the forest
A collection of light and shadow, complete and connected
