A Celebration for Judith W. Lindenau

26. “I like to think I can stand back from my ideas and evaluate them, or shelve
them, or plant the seed which others can nourish.”

28. Magel Award: "It's the pinnacle of my career in association management“

37. My stone cottage crouches solidly
On the beach, an ungraceful lump,
Formless against the palm forest.
If I were looking in the window
I would observe the poet at the table
Making words appear and fade,
Unspoken, erased, and written again.
And if I were inside looking out,
I would observe the black ocean,
Tearing at sand and rock,
Reforming the shape of the earth.
What I know is, the watcher
Cannot be in one place or the other
To understand the truth of shapes
And the surface of poems.
JWL 2007

38. Dialogue with a Painting Teacher
“I'm sorry,” I said.
“I can't paint this
glorious garden filled
with color. I can't
capture insistent, pounding surf,
or that great monarch of a tree.
It's way too much.
I can only celebrate
this yellow leaf, some cherries,
a single flower bud
wrapped tightly in its green skin.
I need a landscape
I can hold in my hand.

72. “Creativity means being different, and it was a long
