Welcome to Lightwood magazine Issue #16 at Lightwoodpress.com.
I quote a phrase that may have value to you: from E. M. Forster’s 1910 novel Howard’s End. “Only connect! . . . Live in fragments no longer.”
We, as human, are interconnected whether we want to be or not. Whether we believe this or not. And we must use this connection for the betterment of all people. We’ll continue to learn from each other. For truly, as has been said—nothing human is alien to us.
I add here a short quote from Horace:
“Littera scripta manet.” The written word remains.
We wish you a creative winter (or summer) season with the hope of peace. And a life of connection with yourself and others.
Enjoy this 16th issue and the previous ones and spread the word about Lightwood. We’re always looking for interesting pieces to publish. And any donation helps to continue to support other writers and artists.

Larry,
Another fine issue of Lightwood. I appreciate the kind review of Betty MacDonald’s Codhill title, and the Dylan was great. Let’s try to get together early in the new year, to talk shop and art. Happy holidays to you and Kay.
warm regards, David
