One of the sun’s most gorgeous shows on the Mystic River a few years ago.

Dear Friends, I can hardly believe tomorrow marks the first day of April. March - a month that in my experience, often crawls by - has flown, and with it, we get a bit more distance for the heart of winter, even if it is still somewhat gloomy and cold. Blue skies and brightly colored blooms are what’s next, and that is a comfort to me.

In the spirit of what’s next, and how it’s coming whether we believe it or not, I’m sharing another poem from my private 2020 poem-a-day collection, this one from January 30th, 2020. As always, I hope you read something that resonates. I’ll see you on the other side of the calendar, in April.
