From the Mount Horeb Mail: Local poet releases 'Pieces of a Reluctant Memoir'

"I sit beneath the Tree of Life.
I ground into its roots.
I close my eyes, breathe in and sigh
And thank Earth for her fruits.
My breaths grow even, soft and calm,
As I project white light.
I receive the universe with open palms
And suddenly, there is sight."
-Michelle Golden
