The Quilt Of Memories

Come up for a breath... Fight your way back, against the flow

of time

Is your hand too cold? Can it sense the warming, the glow

As you climb?

Reflections are trembling, rippling to the edge of the pond

Water lily

Stay here, just under this surface... You can see far beyond

In the dark, really.

(Inspired by the water lily in the quilt)

Thank you for sharing your memories--in photographs and art--describing your home. 

I have woven them together, into a quilt of memories, and presented at my launch party

In celebration of my new book, Home.
