Yesterday, I finished rereading A Listening Life, by Tracy Balzer (2011, Pinyon Publishing). She is a new author for me. I know the quality of the work from Pinyon Publishing, and I saw that Jill Briscoe and Luci Shaw recommended the book.

Tracy Balzer “carry some quiet around” is the author’s site. Her new book will be published in June 2021 – more information at her site.

time with a book
needed rain falls
on the gardens . . .
quiet and I hear
the sound of a train
