ICE SOUNDS!!!!! I think this is fascinating, haunting, and beautiful. Thanks for the experimental venture.

Thanks for listening! I realized later I probably should have used my phone, it does better with sounds, but that was probably my one opportunity for this winter so maybe next year. Here's a link to an amazing video of ice sounds from Sweden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dvR_9_jsv4

Enjoyed both your reading of the poem and the ice sounds. I've just listened/watched David Whyte's Third Sunday session today. Voice in poetry always makes the poem more powerful.

A beautiful tribute to your late mother and to Mother Nature who mothers us all.

Thank you Lauren. I've been listening to "Braiding Sweetgrass" and she's been talking about being mothered by nature and being loved back. It really has me more consciously giving gratitude when I arrive every morning. I highly recommend it on audio.

Lovely, I’ve known you so long, and your voice was soothing and beautiful. The ice and sunrise were wonderful for my senses!

I agree, Karen, you have a lovely voice that "sings" your works and words perfectly.

Thank you - ah, this gives me a chill. I always wanted to be able to sing but alas I am not a singer - but maybe I am in my own way.

I especially LOVE the angel on the toe of the ice giant. I was scrolling up and down, viewing your images as I listened to the reading...the words and the images seemed to have a perfect connection. Thank you for sharing your gift of your creativity. Blessings to you
