My mother, my friend,
died when she was 91. I miss her still, yet it was eighteen years ago.

forgiving, uncomplicated by her total honesty, always willing to learn
new ways, new directions even though it might require a reversal of old
assumptions.[ Read More]

In loving memory of my mother, Ruth Selman (1920-2007), who passed away this morning at 11:20 am.

My actions blown away on wasted winds of imagination and thoughts I cannot think or speak.
I celebrate tomorrow and yearn for yesterdays,
The weakness of a restless soul longing for realities unlived and lost forever in the desert of forgotten dreams.
