Thank you Tonya. A beautiful way to start this day. I too have been mesmerized by Jane Kenyon’s Otherwise, and by the lower case otherwise. How to make the feeling of the miraculous stay? We forget somehow, until we’re reminded by a piece like yours. By art.
I, too, enjoyed the play ongoing through the scenic arcs, meadows, hills, and final river walks. I enjoyed the art, also, Oscar. A gorgeous way to start my day. Jane and Donald. They were so real to me, still together and always. Bless them.
Such an exquisite piece, Tonya...such a beautiful way to start my day. I love your accessible poetic words & living through your memories & literary world. Then my own sentimental memories surface & that brings more magic & poignance to the experience. You make clear that we are all in this together. Thank you, honey.
I felt on the wind and in touch with the hills, trees, and your countless sunlit pathways. Really brilliant writing. Shining is the mainstay. Tonya, we are so blessed to hear your voice, gratiitude, solitude, and sorrows. So much transcendent interpretations with the light of your voice flickering on that cliff's edge. Thank you so much. It will be a fine day, today, your gift offering up delight and peace and reverance. Love you three. C.

Thanks so much, Oscar! And I think you’re right. Art can help remind us just how miraculous life can be. I’m so glad you drew that from the piece.

Really beautiful, thanks. I knew Jane Kenyon’s poem, but I didn’t know about Donald Hall’s.
His collection about her death, “Without,” is so excellent. Devastating, but I’d recommend it. Thanks, Brad!
