I stand and face the West...

A very special and treasured friend to many of us, lorie945, has lost her long and courageous fight with ovarian cancer. She never stopped fighting, she never lost her hope, she always knew our love, and returned it a hundred-fold. I was honored to be counted among her friends, and will always be inspired by her life and spirit. Fare Well, dear one. I hope you have found that fair green country where there is no pain, no struggle, and only Light and Love.



The smallest flower that breathes but a day
Distills its fragrance into sweet perfume,
Garbs itself with grace in bright array -
Exquisite, brief intensity in bloom.
Whether the notes of life are short or long,
From end to end what matters is the song.

from "A Measure of Life", Marjorie Wright Miller
