Jude Oliver was born and died in 2007. During his short life he taught me that life is short and to enjoy every moment you have and not pass time like waiting for a friend to arrive...but embrace every moment.
An Artist "What does it mean "to write well"? An artist--using the word in its genuine rather than childish meaning-is not a craftsman who knows how to evenly distribute "lively images", "telling details of everyday life", "colorful landscapes", and other trifles in his books; an artist is the one who finds a rhythm unknown before, and enlives and permeates the world he has created by this rhythm." -Nabokov
That is so true, and a great gift from Jude to you. I know it is a big reason you are so very special as a person.
ReplyDeleteTrue, indeed.
ReplyDeleteYes. It is a painful knowing, but a gift none the less. You know. I know. Others know.

ReplyDeleteits amazing how a end of life can cause expansions of another. I have often wonder what it feels like to be a mother.
