I just found a picture of you I took from the monitor at the Columbia graduation. You seemed to catch and focus and radiate back out all the happy energy of that huge gathering of people.

That is a lovely spot you've wandered into. Sorry to hear that you contracted Covid, but equally glad to hear that you're on the mend, too. Don't worry about us. We appreciate any and all contact from you, no matter the frequency. Remain well, please. I'm certain your writing muse will return very shortly.

Thanks for sharing these beautiful sights of clouds and overgrown plants and flowers and pollinating insects. I love all of them too! Take care.

I'm glad you're feeling better, Patti, but sorry that you had to go through Covid and all the other challenges. Thank you for the video and the wonderful images of Fulda. I share your love of wild, overgrown spaces. Mother Nature often fills in the landscape in beautiful, yet under-appreciated, ways. Thistles turning into wishes - brilliant! Be well and safe.

Take good care. You are certainly in a gorgeous place!

I’d have to believe Patti is extremely happy that we appreciate, buy her albums and books, and pay to see her on stage. S

(And I know I do not pay for this “forum”. Some people have to make difficult decisions)

Did you delete the Wallace Stevens comment? I can’t answer quickly enough for your deletions. Stop deleting. Your comments do not have to be erased. Yes, we were talking about Stevens and I hope you’ll return to him. All the best to you, Steve, and don’t delete!

Hi Robin,

I was just saying how amazing I find Wallace Stevens poetry and his life story…have a feeling a movie could be based on his life. I grew up in CT, 25 years, so some of what he writes I relate to very easily, but if I didn’t say yet it’s been a while since I’ve read any poetry unless on this site, or Patti mentioned someone or visits a grave of a person that I am unfamiliar with, and I will research and learn, read and investigate the person….Thank you Patti!

And that is the story of the deleted message regarding Mr. Stevens. Cheers! S

It’s great that you research and learn when Patti mentions someone. I do the same. I can’t speak for Patti, but it seems to me that that would make her happy.

I agree…excellent sharing…Bet her Report Card read…Patti was excellent at the alphabet and numbers. She seems to want to share all that she knows with others, although this can be very disruptive during class. (Kindergarten 1952…guessing!)

First, Robin you should be the moderator of this “board”…you are “on it”!I I wanted to triple check Wallace was indeed who you were referring to, so I didn’t misspeak…had only read 1/2 of previous posts. I don’t like being an imposter!

The reason I’m “on it” with this board is that I get so much out of it. I truly value this community. Gratitude to Patti, and to all of you.

Robin, this was for you but seemed to end in general posts…one more try…and if no go another delete! You make me laugh…we sound similar in how we use the site…first enjoy anything new from Patti, then read posts…find something interesting and follow it…chime in or not. But I think you are more mature (not in years) and sober than myself.

I don’t know about my being more mature, but I’m happy to know that you follow interesting leads as I do. Sending good wishes to you, Steve.

As ever,

Robin

I absolutely enjoy Patti’s connection with fans and people in general. She puts herself out there, speaks her truth, and is never afraid! That takes BALLS! And Patti has big ones! Sorry if that is offensive…it shouldn’t be! Shit you tell a man he’s has big balls and he starts strutting around like a lil red rooster! But my apologies if anyone found offensive….

I don’t think you’re in much danger of being an imposter, but I respect your wish not to be.

Be well Patty and you owe us nothing, you have given so much already.
