1. Wow! How beautiful, Don….talk about short and sweet!

2. When all else is eliminated, what is left must be true. Simple. Honest. Alpha and Omega.

3. I think Bertrand Russell would have said, “I am the only one I can discover”.
   I love how everything takes us back to ourself. You captured it beautifully. Thanks Don.

7. there’s a place
   where i can go
   to tell my troubles to…
   in my room….
   in my room

   was it the Beach Boys who sang that song in the ’60s? i am admittedly too much in my room, but there is a larger room i go to…nature, the wild kingdom, where i am not in control but must accept community of all residents—the big picture.

8. Don, as always, your poems break through like a sudden rain on a humid summer day. You bless us, brother.

   i just read your poem again
   & i see these 4 words
   and these images anew

   in this unnoticed room

   4 absolutely riveting words (a poem in 4 words)
   & the images invoked in me are amazing

   & everything in the final three lines
   the final 3 lines well
   that is another poem
