FIVE SECRET PHOTOGRAPHS

2025-09-13
Hi Allen

Lately I feel the clock of life ticking more and more loudly within me. Your poem reminded me of my mother and the last few months of her life but also foreshadowed what I anticipate my ending will be like sitting in that imagined chair - my loved ones visiting, wondering if it will be the last time they see me. I remember each time I’d depart from my mother a feeling of trying to maintain a nonchalant normalcy of goodbye while dampening down the knowledge that the end was drawing closer and closer. The question - will this be my last time seeing her alive? These are the thoughts I took from your lovely poem.

Blessings~ Melinda

A MOMENT WITH MY CAT

2025-07-16
As my beautiful cat and I have moved through the last few tumultuous years of life together, I cannot imagine how I would have made it without her. She brings me comfort and, while cats are often considered aloof, my dear one is not. Each morning she wraps her arms around my neck and licks my face, often taking her front paws to pat the sides of my face as she does so. Your beautiful poem expresses how souls can be different yet beautifully connected. Thank you.

Beautiful. It all unfolded so vividly until the quiet, peaceful ending.
