Inward Bound March 31, 2021 Poetry

Welcome to this edition of Inward Bound. During this past year, we have all experienced a wide range of intense emotions -- to lasting effect. But throughout, we have tried to concentrate on the beautiful, the true and the timeless. This issue is about the intense emotions --expressions, poetic and otherwise -- that help us experience the magic and beauty of life. We start with the women (of course) and end with two glorious dances of exuberance and joy!
