Art does not lie down on the bed
that was made for it;
it runs away as soon
as one says its name;
it loves to be incognito.
Its best moments
are when it forgets
what it is called.

    You’ve raised an adult to be proud of – can you teach me how? What a gift to the world. And something for me to strive for.

    And while you’re teaching…you could help me write a tribute like that too….just lovely. “laughter is his religion”, “he has a way of seeing…” I want to know him.

    …and here I was thinking I was the fortunate one.

    Thanks, Mom. Love you, too.
