About the Creator

Sonia Heidi Unruh

I love: my husband and children; all who claim me as family or friend; the first bite of chocolate; the last blue before sunset; solving puzzles; stroking cats; finding myself by writing; losing myself in reading; the Creator who is love.

    Your words gently carried me into the stillness of midwinter. I could almost feel the calm ease you described, like a warm light in the cold.

    This is a splendid haiku, as elegant as it is potent.
