My spirit speaks to me through my pen.....

About Me

In the darkness there appears light,
and her spirit soars on feathered wings
looking to the heavens as rain falls gently
upon the parched and thirsty earth.

A FEATURED WRITER OF THE WEEK - WSN Words Speak Network - Week of March 7, 2007 CLICK HERE TO SEE MY POETRY INDEX
I have a piece featured in the WSN Anthology Vol. 1: Satiated SunriseMITAKUYE OYASIN
Lakota "We are all related."

"This we know:
All things are connected
like the blood that unites us.
We did not weave the web of life,
we are merely a strand in it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves."

~~ Chief Seattle at treaty negotiations in the 1850s ~~A little girl and a foreign country
changed the course of my life.
If everyone knew that
what you do for others,
you do for yourself,
it would be a better world.
The full story is on my website www.lesliejean.com.....All things are connected like the blood that unites us. We did not weave the web of life, we are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.......
