From the Country of Home – A Remembrance

Everyone’s life is material for a novel, for no life is “ordinary.” Each one offers its own measure of insight, wisdom and meaning, as Cheryl Johnson’s poems, essays and reflections demonstrate.  The “Home” of her title is in many ways about physical locations, but much more importantly, it is about the spaces in the heart where we build a shelter for our lives and memories. I urge you to visit with Cheryl these places of the heart, at once containers for gratitude and sorrow, mystery and meaning, love and pain, disappointment and delight, and always a locus for the joy of living. This home is not a mansion, but in it are many rooms that will enchant us and fill us with wonder. — written by author, Judith Valente about Cheryl Johnson’s book, “From the Country of Home.”
