[stylist] Icicles and Myrna

[Lynda Lambert]

Hi Myrna,

This is why I wanted to take my time with your poem this morning. I read it 
over a couple of times yesterday, and then I like to come back on a 
different day to begin finding out what is there.  It is like an excavation 
site - it has to be uncovered slowly, layer by layer, to find what is there 
amid the words and lines.  The words are stepping stones that take us 
through the site, and the digging begins. I love to explicate poems and that 
is my gift. We all have a gift and that is one of mine - it is nothing you 
can learn in a classroom - you are born with it, the discernment.

Your father is far more educated than many folks walking about with college 
degrees! He has a humility and discernment  that comes from his intuition. 
He KNEW in his heart how to TEACH YOU something you needed to have in your 
life - what seeing really is all about. It is not about the eyes, really. It 
is about the heart.

He has a natural God-given wisdom and intelligence and no training can give 
this to a person - it is inherent.  Your father not only had wisdom in 
knowing how to give a life lesson, he had a heart.  You honor him through 
this poem. I will never forget this poem, Myrna. It is a lesson he has given 
to all who read your poems.  I loved it. Thanks so much for sharing it with 
us here.
