Welcome to Volume 4 Issue 1 of Turtle Way! I hope everyone is enjoying the beginnings of spring as we take a look at our first issue of 2014. Michael Lee Johnson’s poem, “Missing of the Birds” reminds us in the Northern Hemisphere what a long cold winter it has been this year. Hopefully, nicer weather is just around the corner.
This issue’s Special Interest Section topic is Animals. In addition to the aforementioned birds, a couple of canines make an appearance in this issue; one in Michael Price’s Apathy, and another in Changming Yuan’s Walking the Selfhood. Also, be sure to check out the Did U Know? section for some information on mental health pet therapy, and our animal photography and art pieces throughout the issue.
But wait! Before you dive in, let’s review a few housekeeping items:
