      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Unringing the Bell - Natalia Corres

      3

      Dedication

      This is for my husband, Bill – who supports all that I do with love and humor; and for my sweet furbabies, who inspire me; and for my friends, who always greet me with enthusiasm for whatever new thing I am in to at the moment.

      Three Spirit Wolves

      For my birthday

      I received

      a dragon, a wind chime, and three spirit wolves.

      One wolf, a protector and defender;

      One wolf, smart and cunning;

      One wolf, a mama wolf, caring for her pups,

      teaching and nourishing.

      I love the dragon.

      I love the windchime.
