August 4, 2005
In June of 2004 I started walking 'round the woods again, and taking time each day to write. And in early August, I started drawing mandalas. On some of my walks I imagined my dream owl and got from it four words, "strong, able, vital, happy," a kind of mantra for me as I walked. Recently I drew a mandala which incorporated those four words:
I made a book for myself using this mandala followed by eight poems. You can read the sequence of eight poems by starting here and then clicking on the word "whole." Each poem has links to the previous (first word) and next (last word) poem in the sequence.
