I'd like to share a poem that Jody wrote and shared with us shortly after moving to Arizona:

HERE I AM
Sitting in these old corrals
Peaceful and sanguine.
I become this weathered wood
I become this aged soil.

And I know -
this is where I come from
this is where I've always been.

Sun -
warms these weathered boards
Wind nudges me -
like the tumbleweed.
Jody Gilbert
Miss you, Jody
