For M.E.H.
Whose face I see in each moonrise,
Whose voice I hear in the river's run,
Whose touch is that of the cool night air,
And whose heart beats the pulse of the sun.

This idea... of "community" is a kind of ancient theme as well. The whole sort of mystical issue of just who your brothers and sisters really are. It occurs over and over again in religious writing. All the central characters in my stories do seem to have that problemfinding out where they belong... and who they belong with.
Elizabeth Spencer
