I tried something different using the words slice/slicing and the featured word on Mary Lee Hahn’s site (desire). Let’s see if this poem resonates with other readers. http://beyondliteracylink.blogspot.com/2015/04/slicing-poem.html

Today’s slice is about my break last week and the unplanned lesson that I was taught from being in nature, noticing the small things, and seeking counsel from the trees. Powerful quotes on the trail signs inspired me to seek the deeper meaning of the words. Quotes, words, images, and a video: https://meanderingmaya.wordpress.com/2015/04/11/a-break-in-nature/
