About Me
- Sandscript
- My life as a multimedia artist, poet and creative writing instructor has brought me to a deep awareness of nature's importance in my life. Beginning each day with a walk in a wildlife sanctuary keeps me healthy and spiritually centered. I look forward to sharing my experience with others through my blog, Quiet Waters.

The Aroma of Harmony
As I begin my morning walk on the woodland path, I delight in the unique aroma drifting through the air.
It is one unknown to the world of concrete and pavement in the city below the hill.
This is the blended aroma of chestnut and honeysuckle.
The long white sword of the American Chestnut tree emits a harsh, pungent smell, while the delicate trumpet flower of the honeysuckle vine can, at times, smell too sweet.
When blooming near one another, something exotic happens.
Their scents mingle to form a delightful musky-sweet perfume that is a joy to inhale.
Across town, the Mid Ohio Valley Multicultural Festival is underway.
People from various countries and backgrounds are preparing their foods, sharing their music and setting aside their differences in order to create, together, a joyful celebration of human sharing.
As we all strive to make this a more understanding, peaceful world, let us remember the honeysuckle and the chestnut flowers in our lives and do what we can to create a sweet perfume of harmony.
Blessings, Sandra

Unexpected Change
June has sauntered in on the warm, bare feet of summer, and we in the valley are delighting in the unexpected heat wave.
We've been caught off guard.
We had such a bitter winter and rainy spring.
It was hard to imagine blue skies and sun returning again. Yet, here they are!
Finally, we can lift our faces toward the sky and smile.
Often, when we can't imagine good times ever coming again, something amazing happens, breaking through the dreariness of our difficulties with the bright sun of hope.
May June be a month filled with unexpected changes for the good.
