As a mother now for nearly 22 years with my oldest ready to graduate college in a couple months I do reflect on all these years. I look at old pictures of us, me in my younger youth and she and I travelling Europe and having strange, hurried, and chaotic experiences. A single mother for many of these child rearing years I have often been esteemed for my energy 'how do you do it ?' And I often, daily, nightly, think oh if I could just do so much more. Their little personalities grow and sometimes you jibe and sometimes not. Truthfully, I wonder if I was really cutout for it all and if I my perpetual need for solitude and isolation has not been to their detriment. At times I am an empty vessel and wonder how I can manage to muster the emotional and spiritual strength for them - now that I still have 2 teens at home. The answer is they inspire me with their nature and I am pleased to know that they are beautiful spirits in their own right and will have wonderfully lives; regardless of what I have done or not done. For good or bad, I have not sheltered them from the ills of the world or the madness of this clan. I breast fed and clothe diapered them and I hope they will forgive me for occassionally walking around in the nude. Cheers and big hug (if you would post this for me I would appreciate) Thanks for listening. I so need to write!!! Thanks as always for the inspiration! Sue Posted for my friend Sue —–

I was telling one of my students, a research scientist, about the list on your blog about "How to Know When You are Dead." She told me about a death dream she has been having occasionally and asked what I thought it meant. (I love deciphering dreams!) I can't say that I could untangle it completely, however, it ended up that she wanted to read your list; so, I have shared it with her, though I haven't had the opportunity to talk with her since. I can't wait to hear what her response will be--as I am fairly certain that she will enjoy the dark humor of its premise. Within it, the whole list gives a reminder of how precious life is--even when it sometimes appears to be "no damned fun..." Love, Marlis" And this via email from friend Marlis:

It's that in-between time. Not Fall - we don't have one. A peaceful time. No more struggle to keep things from ending and before the struggle to start something new. cheers JW Summer really is just gone here in Sydney. It’s that in-between time. Not Fall - we don’t have one. A peaceful time. No more struggle to keep things from ending and before the struggle to start something new.
