Keep questioning and bluming. Mira I was reminded of you as I observed the tulips, prostrated on the earth by the cold, and now resolutely turning toward the sun to blume.

The organ piece was very quiest, very peaceful -- I don't know if he played that at Concordia Irvine but I liked it a lot.) Enjoyed your Denver basketball description -- saved me going to something like that (although, living in Otegon, we did watch a little TV Blazers from time to time). Nice to imagine you whispering to the plants that they might try again, with maybe real Spring on its way. Sounds like much Spring energy is welling in you as well and that is really good news. Your phrasing of "propelling forward" on a day by day basis is a clear, complex way of stating our days and our futures. For a somewhat longer view, Susan and I quietly celebrate the Summer and Winter Solstices. (Historic, spiritual, and especially for Winter, lower key and not very commercial.) This June 21 we will be at our favorite spot on the central Oregon coast -- the South Front unit at the Yachats Inn in Yachats -- I think this will be our eighth Solstice in that oceanfront small studio unit. Know that you very much continue in our thoughts, dick, susan, and booker (the terrier) gale booker@fea.net (booker lets us use his name on this e-mail account -- royalities include at least two dog desserts nightly) Hi Connie and all:

Dorothy Bernard Like you to the Willow, so too will I whisper my prayers and words of encouragement - Peace! Today I told stories to my children about 7 years ago today - I was very pregnant with Kira Grace, I went to work and was in labor all day - it got more intense as the day progressed and we were at the Hospital by 10:00 p.m. JP stayed with Zoie. Kira joined us at 8:30, April 18, 2000 - my Dragon (this is her Chinese Zodiac Sign which she has embraced whole-heartedly) The breezes are especially sweet today - I'm sure you, Dad and Alphie will partake!
