Bio
I love: my husband and children; all who claim me as family or friend; the first bite of chocolate; the last blue before sunset; solving puzzles; stroking cats; finding myself by writing; losing myself in reading; the Creator who is love.

How Intelligence Began
In the beginning was a grain of sand, and a star. Each existed alone, experiencing the fullness of their properties. The grain of sand contemplated the solidity of its being, the immutability of its presence. It simply was. The star, in contrast, was all motion and change, heat and light. It radiated mystery.

Anne of Green Gables
Orphan dreams, despairs, talks, talks, breaks slate, makes friends, blooms ... finally belongs. ~ *Indebted to Judey Kalchik for launching this Book Review Haiku challenge, and inspired by so many wonderful poetic summaries! If anyone else has already haiku'd Anne, I'm sorry I missed it -- please let me know in the comments.*
