Dear Pat,

Perfect. Perfect image, I just love it. And the words -- perfect. I read and loved May Sarton in the 70s. I should read her again.

With you,
Robin

I was introduced to May Sarton's work by David Walker. We all ended up crying in David's class. I love that man! & May too!

I dug out my old issue of QA that you mentioned. Your vest & book are wonderful. & I found several familiar names from blogging in that issue. Our world is getting smaller all the time.
