the international symbol for the Daughters of Wisdom, a French community of nuns I served in for ten years: 1957-1967
the motto
was “God Alone”
Deus Solus!
I learned to look at the world as She does!
Lately on the roads of Western Massachusetts,
I listen to my GPS
to follow the ribbons of curved roads
through the vales
over the hills
bridging the ponds
edging the lakes
spying the wild turkeys
Tanglewood
Jacob’s pillow
Lenox, Lee, Stockbridge and Great Barrington
Western MASSACHUSETTS
in all its May GLORY !
This state peeled its way from England
and moved west
settling estates by the wealthy
which would be given to every man
of every color
to nurture under our spacious skies
where our GPS looks down
and is often pleased!
(Yesterday I met a woman and man from Ireland. She taught Literature and he, Geography. We will stay in touch so I can learn more about Belfast and we can share the glory of the light coming through the dappled leaves) (from The Ponds on Fox Hollow)
