Lynda Schaller

Allows no certainty

And hope is the thing that

Hallows possibility

Invites us to become

Guardians of the future

Revving our creative engines

While fiercely protecting

Mercy’s tender flame

Lynda Schaller grew up on a Driftless region dairy farm, absorbing elders’ tales and free-ranging in woods and fields. She has lived in the rural intentional community of Dancing Waters near Gays Mills, WI, since its 1982 founding. Her passions are growing food, writing poetry and tending healthy group dynamics.
