The Patience of Ice

<p>Filled with awe at the improbable, incomprehensible trajectory of human experience, Renate Wood ponders history, memory, and family. Beginning with the sequence titled "German Chronicle," Wood evokes her childhood in Germany during the WWII, recording the war's impact on the world in general and on her family in particular. Her poems move between the past and the present, from family life to mythology, and are distinguished by intellectual and emotional courage, metaphoric surprise, and linguistic clarity.<br></p>

This is the story of not quitting! Renate found herself a grandmother with health problems and ailments expected of the station. But she had a hidden spirit. She would be expected to go along with the current. Until a chance visit to a local YWCA which started a quest for self descovery that will not end. Renate is now a competative Marathon and Ultra runner. She does not winn every race she runns but on the other hand she wins every day she runs and every where she goes! This is her story. You will love it and perhaps learn alittle along the way!
