She makes me remember
Craft and magic,
Art and artistry.
I am again Creator and created –
Changed by the words I write;
Changing those who read
These idle thoughts about a girl from long ago
Grown into strength, wisdom,
And warm wit.

Tracy Linder considers herself the proverbial “Jack of all trades, Master of none.” At any one time she is a teacher, counselor, wordsmith, classical pianist, vocal soloist (usually in the shower), avid baker, amateur fan of history, film, theater, and every so often finds time to sit quietly with an embroidery hoop. She currently works from home.
