on the edges

of belonging” - love that!

Thanks! I told my mentor, I have no idea what this poem is about. He said, it doesn't matter. It's a very emotional poem, and stands on its own.

Why oh why are you thinking of me everyday?? We are winding down on harvest/donations etc. and leaving on Oct. 1st for a couple of weeks….to Nice. Perhaps we can see each other before then??

I don't know exactly, but I do miss having you in my life. I've had such fun at your home, visiting, making pickles.

chuckling. My poetry mentor, Peter, who is a lifelong poet/Zen teacher (I told him I had no idea what this poem is about) said of it, "that doesn't matter. It's a very emotional poem and stands on its own." I had learned about Roman balances, still made by one man in Italy today, that are fabulously accurate, and have been made since Roman times. That's where this poem started.
