Kim from Montana. And then there was Kim, who came out of the absolute blue. An email stating she was coming from Montana, Wishing to meet me for a brief moment as she passed through. She was a development Officer for Vital Ground, A land trust working on, especially Montana bear habitat. Why me I asked--"I have sent only a dollar now and then." She said, "I wanted to know who this dollar donor was-- Did some research, read some poems." And her mind somehow concluded I was A Renaissance Man! She arrived to visit for a brief hour, Promised coffee in hand from Starbucks. What a magical few minutes with a counterpart, Who had to leave ever too soon to meet with real donors! How nice it would be to stay in touch And experience a moment of magic now and again. Frank Maurer 8 November 2023 0600 Hours.
