Hi Mom

Weather is poised to slap us into submission. Threatening with the largest storm in history To make us aware of her power to destroy And yet, here on the cusp of history, battened down well stocked Do I yet love Nature With all of her wild and beautiful ways. Her seas have been there for me in my times Of Loss And Need Ever showing me the vastness of her being She has ever been the Way In all her present tense My wilder spirit rises in answer to her challenges Enhancing my life daily.

A pleasure to sit and read poetry this morning. We are getting snow from the Hurricane and the cold northern air coming down from Canada here is Piqua, Ohio this morning. I am glad your excellent poem was one that I came across to read. I hope you are having a good day and if you are in the mist of this weather that you are safe and remain safe Donald. Love, Carol
