May 19 2015 Peggy Rubin’s Birthday Gift Trish News Let’s give our dear Peggy the gift she has asked for, on the occasion of her 80th birthday, August 18: A Community Sponsored Writing Retreat Peggy wants to write for a month at the Oregon Coast, and we want to gift her a month’s stay at her favorite retreat there, all expenses paid. We thought this would be a wonderful gift from all of her community of friends who love her. With everyone’s help, we can do this. I am stewarding the donations. Any amount is welcome. You can send a check to me, made out to Trish Broersma, and mail to 864 Perozzi, Ashland, OR 97520 or donate with your credit card through PayPal below. Everyone who donates will have their name added to the card given along with the big check to Peggy on her birthday this August. Here is the poem that has inspired Peggy’s request: LEAVE SOMETHING IN THE MARKETPLACE Sometimes it can happen to these cheeks when a poem visits my mind for the first time and begins to look around. They can wonder why rain is falling on them, and causing my nose to run too. O boy, what a mess love makes of me. But there is nothing else right now I would rather be doing … than reaping something from a field in another dimension and leaving it in the marketplace for any who might happen by. Leave something in the marketplace for us before you leave this world. ~ Hafiz Share:Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)
