I such a pleasant experience last night, tired from having taught a divoce mediation class all day (last day of three-weekend course... yippeee!). Helen had found a 40 year-old letter from my mentor and piano teacher, Mrs. Ina Jackson Carmen.  She was encouraging me in my poetry... inside the letter was a sonnet I had written and sent to her.  She had shared it with a group of poets who met monthly and had passed around a sheet of paper for the poets there-gathered to write comments on.  They were so affirming and positive about the poem.  And to the left of their comments she had written in her own remarks: "he is a seasoned poet"  "she has published"  "he is widely known" etc.  I was just blown away and felt so warm and loved as I went to sleep last night, already thinking about a poem I would write... finished it earlier... titled "Ina's Music."

I will write at least two more poems about Miss Kay, as I called her, and look forward to doing so.
