Florenz left a caring mark on each of our books, bringing them into the world.

The Salt Of Our History
from Surviving Has Made Me Crazy
The net is more important
than the fish. It is the casting,
the waiting, the pull, not knowing
what is resisting. And the fact
that every good net has holes
is a reminder that everything
that lands in our hands
is just a borrowing.
After burning our hands,
things too big must be
returned, too.
And we who cast
are netted and let go
as well.
When we are caught,
we pray to slip through.
When we slip through,
we pray to be lifted.
And God is just
an invisible fisherman
burning us with soul
before throwing us back.
