Community Art & Poetry


Walking Alone in the Snowy Woods

by Norma Djerassi, from The Gentle Cry
Although I am reminded of my childhood,
It is not the childhood I seek.
It is the innocent, uncomplicated simple joys of life:
Of being alive to the eternal sounds of mountain streams
Musically talking to the rocks
As they make contact
Breaking the silence of the snow-covered forest floor.





In Memoriam: Jane Gallagher 1930-2004
