I love that both of you are making sense of the world by writing about personal things , of your own and others Thank you ! I use plants and gardening to connect with people all over the world Turns out gardeners are a very political group of people ( Who knew?) I now have gardening friends in England, Canada , New Zealand , Uruguay, and Iran etc ( Sharing pictures of family etc with only a few)

Thank you Cathy for interviewing my good, good comrade, Gail. It was an important reminder to all of us..that writing, reflection, poetry, memoir, essay..all are part of the struggle...Na Gode

Always good to catch up on old friends, what they are doing, what they are saying, and thinking, and even what they look like!

Thanks, Marylee. How can it be that we haven't seen each other for decades. Good that Anne is our go-between!

Wonderful interview. I love Gail's poem that you included. It resonates deeply. I think of how - me being from Southern Africa - the word African or Africa is regularly interpreted as being a person of one place, not one country. Thank you Cathy for a wonderful interview.

Yes, and she, Annie, is coming in a week or so on her way to Montreat with her sister, Carolyn. Hope you are fine. I’m doing OK for an old gal!
