[Thespiritexpress] Info for the Ukiah Reading Sept. 25th

[Toni Bernbaum]

Thank you SO much Ed for your kind words and to both you and Lyn for making Ukiah and the reading a pit stop (sort of, on your way) from Sacremento 
fresh off your trip from Montana! Phew and Wow. What a stretch ….and very appreciated!
I so appreciate your support and showing up……and thank you to those who sent notes and wished me well.  It was 
indeed a sweet evening….both Ed and Ron read wonderful poems and the open mic had quite a line up.  
These poetry events are ever so unique and are quite a buffet of unique readers serving up  poems (and songs)
to feed our community.  It was an honor to be a part of it!
♥️

> What a great reading last night, Toni! Your words and your voice hold wide open spaces with deep sincerity. Serenity,  peace of mind, and nature's flow naturally follow. That is, until you choose to shift gears, changing your tune down stream with any topic you select, bringing light, love, and awareness, to this listener. Your abilities to weave word, voice and vision is a gift that you freely give to this community of seekers and seers with immense benefits to one and all. What an honor to attend and listen last night. My heart is still warm with your poetry today. Thank you.
