Andi
I posted the wrong name....it is Oriah Mountain Dreamer, though she used to be called Elder, she no longer claims that name as it is of Indian heritage. She is an Author and Teacher who lives in Canada, is of Scottish descent and a very wise woman.
She has a book out called An Ivitation (got that wrong too, blame it on the chemo, huh!). I thought her poem was pretty profound and thought of you when I was posting it...again, it goes right back to your truth, Andi and to all of ours.
Thank you for the truths you posted, causing some pretty wonderful discussions and very heated (in a good way) thoughts to come forth from so many. It is people like you that keep that smile in my heart, the soft brown Earth between my toes, and the song of a distant Lark in my throat. Ah, the wonderment of life.....Love to you always, Vickie
