Deanna’s work is very special. Her poetry communicates to the reader the unique relationship existing between her, the Divine, and the Creation; this relationshipaffects and inspires her writing ultimately inviting the reader to empathize more with others, hope, and experience a richer contemplative life on earth.” ~ Chris Chaves, Ed.D.
Here I can feel the natural rhythmic continuo of living each season both intuitively and consciously, for all that season uniquely provides.
At the end of a season, there are some satisfactions; at the same time a relinquishing, sometimes sad, of that season must take place as the next manifests itself. We will miss some of that season’s gifts, even while we anticipate the beauties of the one coming in. And within all the richness of experience, still there is mystery.
I think of my own potential fruition. Do you think about yours? Some of my potential is actuated in written words. I think on the life-cycle of my dreams’ denials and joyous fulfillments, what I hope for now, what I fear, answers received and mysteries presented. They continue in city or country.
Consider: what steps, with God’s grace, can you continue with, starting now? And who might you companion and nurture in their walk with God?
The God-imprinted heart conceives of hope even in uprootings, in seeming failures-to-thrive, even in the face of death, and can come to perceive life events as God-directed shifts in their path.
The God-heart can envision, therefore, as it were, trees not planted yet, and so plants and waters anyway.
Even without seeing or grasping yet all that is, for a season, hidden, there is love, and there is joy. May you see these things in this book. May you acknowledge those who have watered you. May you plant and water also.

“To sum up her gift in a few words—she draws one right into each scene and each thought and feeling. One cannot read these pieces and not be involved with her in the telling. Beautifully rendered word paintings.” ~ Mrs. Sandy Garman, Visual Artist
“Deanna’s writing offers a volume to pick up and open to any selection for a moment’s refuge from the clutter of the day. She has the courage to reveal deeply personal opinion and belief as well as the talent to evoke vivid imagery as she gives voice to the human heart and spirit. I smiled with the sweetness of some poems and welcomed her insights that stir Hope and Love and Trust. Deanna has a creative gift that she generously shares.” ~ Theresa Orr, Justice of the Peace, Retired Associate Dean of Harvard Medical School
