I am helped and nurtured and greatly inspired by your accumulated knowledge, your always thoughtful and careful, enthusiastic, kind, and loving teaching style, which beckons the best poetry in us all. . . Thank for your graceful and loving help.

You have turned my appreciation and approach to poetry in such a lovely and transformative way. If I try to explain what this feels like, I will leave to the words from Proverbs 16:24, "Pleasant words are like a honeycomb: they drip sweet food for life and bring health to the body." Another version says, "sweet to the soul and healing to the bones."
