No one's death comes to pass without making some impression, and those closest to the deceased inherit part of the liberated soul and become richer in their humanness.
~Hermann Broch~

Thank you!!!

"When you wake up in the morning, bend over to tie your shoes and find confetti by your feet, you know the parade has passed you by. Anybody can have rheumatism in the body, but when you get it in your soul, you might as well go pick your coffin.

Thank you, God, for invigorating gifts this half-alive Mom found one morning under those old mounds of damp confetti at her feet ~ ready compost to help new life to grow and a pulsing little "want to" seed.

Jerry's website is fruit of the inspiration tree that sprouted from it 7 months ago... I share nourishment of it with one and all."
