This is a book of poems of nature and life as seen through the eyes of the author, with her interpretation of the beautiful natural world created by God. Her sign is the dragonfly, a mystical insect that has been on earth for millions of years and has more eye facets than any other living creature. The dragonfly is revered by the Abenaki, New England's native Americans as a sign of magic and rebirth. The author writes of the swamps and bogs, lakes and ponds, brooks and rivers she has loved in New England, and the wonderful animals she has encountered there, and in her own back yard. She writes of turtles, snakes, hummingbirds and turkeys. She sings of cows and deer and butterflies. She is inspired by the flowers in her garden; pansies, lupine, foxgloves, and even the weeds like lady's thumb. She finds joy in all of the New England seasons and the hills and rocks and forests. Nature has a million tales to tell, and herein are offered a few. The discovery of nature's stories offers us a clue to the discovery of the mystical within ourselves. To learn to see as the dragonfly sees, with its myriad points of vision, is to awaken to life, to self, and to spirit.
Jan Whitlock, the young investigative reporter in "The Mystery at Seymour Lake Lodge" continues to search for an answer to the gnawing hunger inside her soul. She returns to the area of Vermont where she grew up, and there in Shady Rill, in the shadow of Hunger Mountain, she is challenged in ways she never expected. With threats to her business success, her most important relationships, and even her life, Jan must discover and believe in her inherent inner strength and wisdom. Her passion for discovery and her need for connection with writers, artists and musicians drive her to build and sustain a life where creativity can flourish and where she can be fully herself yet still have room for a romantic partner. The author tempts you to escape into the back woods of Central Vermont in the Worcester Mountain Range, where beavers and rattlesnakes are protected from poachers, and where serendipity awaits at every turn of the trail.
This second book of dragonfly poems comes from the heart more than the eyes of the dragonfly. They tell how she feels about the things she sees in the world, and what she observes about the actions and nature of human beings.
