Recording of “Life among the Prickly Pear”

A draft of this first appeared here in June 2015, with the finished piece following in May 2016. It rained yesterday, and I thought I’d record this with the sound of falling rain in the background.

Beautiful – and I do hear that rain behind your voice. Nicely done.

Wonderful. Your voice is so soothing. Since you were able to upload an audio do you have any idea how to do that without having the audio space available in your plan? I have been wanting to share a reading for a while now.

  Thank you. No, I don’t know how that could be accomplished off plan, except perhaps by linking to another site.
