Love

* This picture always reminds me of the best of times. One of the magical events that came on a California night. We girls were off alone to the beach. We spread the hotel quilt on the sand and sat in a circle. We passed a burning candle around and sang " Mothers, Daughters, Sisters, We are the Believers, We will be together throughout all time." (And we Will!) Each little girl blew out the candle and told of their mother's new fairy name, and gave her a goofy fairy. We turned our backs to the ocean and tossed fudge over our shoulders to the ocean fairies and for good luck. Then Jamie lead us in the Ya Ya hip swivel and chant. Just a few brief moments, was it an illlusion or was it real?

* Tom and I chased horses at dawn to a gorgeous sunrise.

*Fresh peaches on Special K.

* A long talk at Mom's pool. Drinking in the last of summer. She is fragile. I love her.

* "The Divine love of God turns ordinary acts into extraordinary service. It transports simple words into sacred scripture, it illuminates our path and fills life with meaning and wonder."
