Left page: "All the baby elephants have been born and so quickly.
Jonathan 2-7. 6 public parks
The journal project with UNL.
Now to raise them, give them all adequate attention, thought and love."
Right page: "Gretchen called today to make plans for my time in NY and for that flight through Dallas, to Mexico. She says, 'you are unstoppable.' I know very well that's not true. Still, I am as amazed as anyone at the ways things unfold, the people, the seemingly divine assignments that land with me, time after time." - Rights
