What a beautiful poem. I loved reading it against the red background on the link. It added to the richness.

Dear Baird,

Such an honor for "The Map" to be presented here, especially after I lost my dear mother not long ago. A copy of the poem is forever with her now...

Your reading of and comments on "The Map" on the Arion Press website is so deeply moving.

Thanks so much again!

In deep gratitude,

Chun

Thanks Chun. I thought, as I was writing about parents and children, that this was a perfect time to share your moving tribute to your dear mother (and father). Sending my love to you and your family.

Yes. The challenge for me when recording this was getting through the points where I choked up with emotion. Thanks for sharing yours Michael.
