Dear J,

​

I am so sorry you feel distressed about the nation- I have felt this way for so long with our current "President." I hope for change in November. I am so happy to hear your family is well. I worry in such a large populated area.

This weekend I rearranged my room to provide for a yoga and meditation space on a permanent basis. I also hung two pieces of art that you sent to me very close. I cherish them, and the kindness and support you have always shown me. What a gift to my life you have always been and continue to be.

​

I wish that I had had the courage to continue on dancing of only to honor your faith in me. I just didn't have the strength after the loss of my adopted daughter, my marriage, the studio. In some ways my time in Flamenco is just a blur. Other days it is vivid. The internal cry remains, but I am stronger now. A new faith, a new direction.

​

I hope someday I can return to it with the love and joy from years ago. I don't know! Maybe next life.

Love always,

L

I hopethat in 2 or 3 months your studio  will have a third art,

this time  paper books titled 'Landscapes Invisible.'

It would be the title for the very paper book 

in the process of publishing by Authorhouse, 

The publishing editing teamt and me decided to take it

instead of 'Caves of the Heart'. 

'I hope someday I can return to it',  

The words in the email I am reading now reminds  me of a phrase 

in the first page of the manuscript for my first paper book under making

by Authorhouse in Indiana, US..

-Portland with Pioneer Courthouse Square let me taste sorrow and beauty.-

Love

J
