Judy, I had not seen the note you wrote in Substack notes, and I did wonder about the switch. That said, I think you know that I love poetry and contemplative writing, and I have enjoyed yours very much. Yes, poetry affords an easier -- and often deeper -- way to sit with and write about those things which are juxtaposed but both also true...those things that we're thinking about but about which we aren't yet definitive...those things which we're feeling but can't always explain. I appreciate this additional insight to the "why" and "why now." Thank you for sharing it. And I'm so glad that our Insta-message exchange led you to this place. (Thank you, also, for sharing the link to my webpage.)
For what it's worth I have enjoyed your poetry... I found it to be a nice shift.

I appreciate the insights in your poems.
