From the Mediterranean Sea to California

We live within an hour's drive to the Olive Capital of the world (or so they say)....so we do see a lot of orchards around. Great poem, these branches of peace! ~ Carrie

Lovely, Barbara. Have you read my poem, Sacred Seat? It's from earlier this year. In light of this piece, you might find it interesting! Hugs, Donna
