Katherine, I'm speechless. Wow. I'm framing your comment as a masterpiece. I have yet to have a comment dive this deep and extensive into my work. You went above and beyond. It felt like a photo of a mountain and pine trees reflected in still water. My poem and your words echoed each other.

I come from a visual art background, so your painting references are on target. I used to paint landscapes, and that gift transferred to words and photography.

Your kind offering to me has to be one of the best compliments I've ever received on my writing. It was uplifting, encouraging, detailed, and a parallel guide that takes the reader through my poem.

My favorite thing about what you wrote? It was art. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to write this.
