It is a wonderful experience to have a poet share their work in their own voice. The poem is splendid and I really could feel the disappointment of having trouble seeing what I thought I wanted to shoot blocked. Seeing things we have previously blanked out in a new way makes it possible to focus and receive a beautiful" new picture gift". I find that the gift of poetry makes getting older a lot more fun. Thank you, Judith
