Many years ago, I fell into fandom for an artist/poet and maker of a small magazine that just took my breath away with every issue. Then I moved too much or he went a different direction or for some reason the connection was broken.
A couple of years ago, I found out that one of my friends and her late husband had been connected to this same artist but had also lost connection. We tried to find him but for some reason couldn’t and we were both saddened by the loss.
This week, a mail piece from him showed up at her address, delighting us both. And, as these things sometime go, he is also on Substack sharing his amazing art and poetry.
When something that has been lost, comes back to us, there is a feeling of rightness in the universe. I am gratefully celebrating this return of beauty and joy by sharing a sample of Rod MacIver’s work here.

One of the best ways to practice gratitude is by journaling. There are many different sizes, shapes and focuses for gratitude journals. While we love the bigger, workbook sized Gratitude Mojo, some people prefer this 6” x 9” version available from amazon.com.
Reminder: Neither Substack nor Gratitude Mojo ever sells your email.
I never want to miss a word or image that comes from your brilliant mind! That is why I am grateful to be a paid subscription to your site as of today, Joyce. I invite others to join me, and this conversation, as paid subscribers.
That being said, I just 're found' the Heron Dance image seen above this post. I know this is not the joy of discovery you were referring to, but I was surprised and excited to finally discover the Herons when I opened your Substack on my laptop instead of reading it, as I do all messages, on my phone.
So, here is my insight, we all see through our own lenses.
When we post, the final check is to see how our words and images will be presented on various devices. This is a micro application of the communications principle, how will my statement sound to others? How will my graphics look to others...on various devices.?
This is lovely, thank you for sharing!!
