Loneliness
an illusion
we’re always connected
by threads of light –
dreamt and drawn
this webbing cradles
our minds
our hearts
our souls
like bones
that form a whole
we’re not alone
if only we can see
our connections in time
and space
without squinting.

Barbara I love the way you wrote this piece about our connectivity. I believe nothing is a coincidence. I too agree that we are all connected and we would likely be surprised just how much. Lovely vivid piece about connectivity with each other. Congratulations again on becoming the new editor of MasticadoresUSA. Hugs, Joni

You are quite accomplished on your own Barbara and have achieved so much. I know Gabriela wouldn’t have been ok with letting go of this magazine until she felt Juan had someone who would do a wonderful job as she is too professional to leave anyone hanging. I do have faith in you and the Director obviously did or you wouldn’t be here. I am happy for you. It is lots of work. Blessings to you. ❤️🤗🦋

I just read a new poet today and I shared MasticadoresUSA to him along with a few others. I will spread the word. You will be bombarded before you know it. Big hugs and enjoy the rest of your week. Thank you for your kind words too, they mean a lot. ❤️🤗
