Lavender Fields Forever

Shades of purple soothe my restless roving mind as I walk through fields of fragrant sweet lavender love and kindness with each step. Genie Nakano, April 11, 2021

                                      soothe my restless roving mind
                                      as I walk through fields
                                      of fragrant sweet lavender
                                      love and kindness with each step.

    No, I haven’t recieved a copy yet. Starting to think it’s lost in the mail. Have you heard about mystic screen? I was hoping to edit before publishing.
    I’ll try and find the opening 😊
    I’ll look for it on your site. Let me know if you are posting it elsewhere.
