Myrtle Stedman
In this collection of the author’s most personal thoughts and experiences, both real and imagined, she examines her own belief systems, family problems, advancing years, triumphs, and blends them into loose flowing poetry which laughs and cries to be read. Readers will find much of themselves in this timely book. The author says, 'First and foremost I acknowledge the Mind as the creator and the substance of that which it creates. We couldn’t even imagine a universe or anything in it without the Mind. It is the Mind that expresses itself and conceives that which it expresses. It is this male and female that is the basis for the production of all that exists. It is to the Mind and in the spirit of its contemplation that I attribute the end resolves of family and all life situations which enter into ongoing life today and into life beyond the grave, never dying, never forgetting.' * * * * * Myrtle Stedman was a member of PEN New Mexico, a branch of PEN Center USA West of International PEN and believed that there is no end to what the mind can do with the eye and hand, in time and in spirit. She is also the author of 'Artists in Adobe,' 'Adobe Architecture,' 'Adobe Remodeling and Fireplaces,' 'Artists in Adobe,' 'House Not Made with Hands,' 'Of One Mind,' 'Of Things to Come, 'Rural Architecture,' 'The Ups and Downs of Living Alone in Later Life,' and 'The Way Things Are or Could Be,' all from Sunstone Press. 3
