“Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow;
they toil not, neither do they spin.”  Matthew 6:28

When I consider the lilies of our fields –

mauve crocuses struggling
through winter-cold soil,
wood lilies donning
their flamboyant orange,
daisies folding velvety petals
around their golden hearts,
purple harebells nodding
in a summer breeze,
dandelions echoing the sun –

when I consider the lilies of our fields,
I cannot see how
such an exuberantly creative God
could stop at only one world.

Joining Mensa is a life changing experience!

I have been a Mensan for 30 years now and it has been a very rewarding experience, not only intellectually but also socially. The most rewarding experience as a Mensan is to give -- to give of yourself for the benefit of others.

To be honored in the Poetry Competition with a submission that I squeaked in under the wire because I was afraid to enter is a validation beyond words. Being judged by a new group of peers is the highest honor and a moment that I will treasure...

I especially enjoyed meeting many of your members at the ”meet-and-greet” after my presentation and hope you will invite me to return on a future occasion.
