Stay in touch
with the six
high-touch senses:
design
story
symphony
empathy
play
meaning.
Where are they?
In the right brain.
Where what’s left is right!

Who’s in the background
looking at me?
I”ll climb in the eyes
and see.
Could it be
mommy?
Loving me?

A bleat

in bush
of lush
green twigs
sweet digs
deer jigs!

How could it be
the sleek goldfinch
I see
each day
became the
round chickadee in winter’s snow upon the deck?
Now I know
they share the seeds
the genes
the species
mates and dates
and yellow fates.

From long ago
my tree of life
comforts me –
in sacred shelter:
sunlight’s nest.

What does Annika need in her lair?
1000 dandelions hung on the tree
a magic wand tree branch
a rock pile (cairn)
cleared sitting area
shade
sunlight glances
visitors who summon her forth to mountain bike feats in the air!

Wow! A two year old and a 4 year old ride two wheel bikes without training wheels.
Behold the bold ones on their own bike trails at home (on the range in Austerlitz, NY).
Poppa, a mountain biker and trail maker, has fashioned the trails in the woods to facilitate their tricks and new “flippy-do’s”. (Oliver’s term)
The video is shot with an iPhone 4s and then shared to Vimeo and embedded in the blog post.
Enjoy!

My fellow poet,Joy Acey, wants to know more about my Marketing Vision.
All my former books have been for “children of all ages“.
The next one, “Riddles”, will be for parents and pre-schoolers to read together.
My Blurb books were created to be free Galleries for friends and family on line. (Turn the page with the curser.)
Several editors have said that they are not written for children. (but sometimes about children)
So I have begun editing my 30 odd riddles, looking for single syllable words and straight-forward photos.
Amy VanDerwater’s book – Forest Has a Song – inspires me with its classic spacing.
So that lay-out is my design vision; the color themes will evolve; and the lovers of the book resonate.
(Like many fresh flowers in water at the farmer’s market.)

My friend Joy Acey adds to the research:
I went to Wiki and found this: Numerous other common names have been applied to the crane fly, many of them more or less regional, including mosquito hawk, mosquito eater (or skeeter eater), gallinipper, may fly (or mayfly)[2] gollywhopper and whapper.[2]
So they are the same thing.
