To all Beings who Have Inspired these Poems
​
Appreciations
To all of nature for divinely feeding art and poetry
My family and friends who enrich my life
All the teachers and mentors who have encouraged me to keep growing in my life
My children for always take me to new edges.
My mother for being a great editor
Honoring my father and my ancestors who believe in me
To the farm animals & plants who have shared and taught me all along
Thank you to the expertise of Limor and Marty whose confidence with technology guides me
To the island of Kauai for inspiring me into poet
To the might of pen and paper, both literally and electronically
Respects to the Great Mystery of life.
