No I have not been published. I thank you. I feel it. It is the wrong season for that is an autumn poem but it is about the turning wheel and our oneness with the universe. We are small yet great and one with all.

Thanks again. It is lovely to know it touches you. It is really how I feel about the Divine. Love and Light, Isis

Dear Carla,

Thank you for connecting with me. I'm delighted and honored to see that you're an ordained Unity minister. I love Unity! I love calling for prayer support over there. They always strike the right note and I always find peace after the call. Thank you, too, for telling me about the two spiritual groups. I'll check them out and join.

May you always be surrounded by light and love,
Maya
