The other day a friend was walking out in the woods as the sun was setting, Her dog was being playful and she stopped to tune into him. When she looked up she saw a beautiful sunset with the sun streaming through the trees. A space in the trees letting the sunlight pour through was in the shape of a heart.

My FB post on Marianne's FB page today, May 19, 2017 at the ripe age of 54 as of Mother's Day 2017). My condolences too to all involved in the Times Square tragedy of a miltary vet many high on pot laced with something ending the life of a young woman from Michigan and injuring about 20 others. May each be healed and the lovely young woman of 18 years be remembered as a heroine of a special sort, living her life and braving waking us all up to our mortality.
