What a beautiful poem to begin this day. It brought my heart home to the Woods – thank you!
Sheila, this is so beautiful; thank you!going to pass it on to Providence Associate Emma Contreras, who will come to the Woods this summer for the first time.
This is it…..I have read and reread and read it again.
You have given us a trip to The Woods without leaving home.

Thank you very much for the inspirations!
Beauty here at The Woods.
Beauty comes to me here,
Wherever Presence.
Sheila,
I loved your poem! I liked the series of questions you pose in each line that calls for my own reflection and response. “Yes” to all the gifts I receive in The Woods and take with me as “reserves” when I go.
Thank you Sheila
