[stylist] R: Post Cards from Prague

[vejas]

Yes, to be honest if you write the cards yourself, it's more "to 
the heart" and shows you care for the person more.

This is the thing I shoot for each time a birthday of someone 
comes around.
On facebook I don't get too creative, but if I'm going to send a 
card, I'd
rather wtrite the poem inside myself.
Some of those are so beautiful.

Subject: [stylist] R: Post Cards from Prague

I was thinking today about the beginning of the summer, and the 
traveling
season we are now into for the next few months.  Travel has 
always been a
central part of my own life and it still remains so even though I 
now have
sight loss issues.  I find that I love to travel as much as I 
ever did, and I
enjoy where I am in the same way as before.


I have attached a poem I wrote in Prague a few years ago.  I was 
there every
summer for many years.  I taught in Europe in the summer time and 
took
students there to study on-location in Italy, Germany, Austria, 
and Czech
Republic.  Our Course was "Drawing and Writing in Salzburg." We 
lived in  a
small village in the Alps in Austria and had classes there every 
morning.  We
took long weekends to other countries together.
The students traveled with me for a month of studies each summer 
in July.

This poem was composed as we traevled in Prague and in the form 
of
individual post cards to be sent from there.  I imagined sending 
out
creative post cards instead of the typical ones that really say 
nothing at
all about the place or the person's internal dialogue with the 
place.

I thought, wouldn't it be refreshing to get a REAL post card from 
Prague?
this motivated me to begin writing the post cards you see here.

Is travel a theme in any of your work?
I find that travel is really central to mine, even if it is a 
metaphorical
journey.

This poem was published in my book, "Concerti:  Psalms for the 
Journey."
