<p>I think that I shall never see <br />A poem lovely as a tree. <br /></p>
<p>A tree whose hungry mouth is prest <br />Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; </p>
<p>A tree that looks at God all day, <br />And lifts her leafy arms to pray; </p>
<p>A tree that may in Summer wear <br />A nest of robins in her hair; </p>
<p>Upon whose bosom snow has lain; <br />Who intimately lives with rain. </p>
<p>Poems are made by fools like me, <br />But only God can make a tree.</p>
<p> <em>The poem is in the public domain.</em></p><p><a href="https://mfrl.libcal.com/event/8765495">Local Poets Talk</a> at Jessie Peterman Memorial Library in Floyd, Virginia on February 6</p>

<br />
<b>A Little Sweet...</b><br />
<br />
The discussion turns to the protests ignited by the death of George Floyd at the hands of police officers in Minneapolis. The <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/">Ravelry</a> front page is dedicated to the support of Black Lives Matter and of designers and artisans affected by the turmoil. A new website they promoted is <a href="https://bipocinfiber.com/">BIPOC in Fiber</a>, highlighting the work of Black, Indigenous and People of Color working in the fiber community.<br />
<br />
<b>A Little Tart...</b><br />
<br />
The discussion continues with quotes and life experiences.<br />
<br />
<b>A Little Unexpected...</b><br />
<br />
More discussion about what may be coming in the next months and about a peaceful demonstration planned in Stuart, the county seat, for the weekend.<br />

Bear with us; we'll figure it out!<br />
Our episode this time deals with isolation due to social distancing and the corona virus. Beth has several great quotes from <em>Get Well Soon </em>by Jennifer Wright, a book about plagues in history. Both Beth and Leslie pointed out ways they keep their sanity during quiet times, although both are used to isolation because of nature and habitat.<br />
