OH, Joann, what a great healing when one loses the artist's way. Take a garden break and find magic. It reminds me of Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic, which I just finished listening to yesterday. When you hit a wall in one creative outlet, try something else to regain momentum. Nice poem with an important message.

Getting our hands in soil is healing, don't you think?
