I am in sunny, fragrant California. My spiritual home. Bonnie is in Wilmington taking care of her grandchildren, and writing her chapters in our book. Uplifting days for all.
I just came from my mother's home where I replaced her 20" iMac G4 (white luxo lamp-like flat screen computer) with a iMac 24" screen which is much more responsive to Mom's mouse movements etc. It is incredible to me that my 88 year old mother is an avid Mac user.
Anyway, as I now have two weeks "distance" from Bonnie for the first time in many years, it is interesting to see how my mind holds her, and my arms look for her in the middle of the night.
Nearly lossing Bonnie so many times, and having such close calls in the last year has had me thinking, alot, about Bonnie's essense, and what I find so compelling about her.
There are her quick turns of mind, and ability to reframe a situation or concept, her sense of humor, grace under fire, baby like skin, smiling eyes, beautiful breasts -- so many different aspects of spirit in a woman's body come to mind.
Yet, I think what captures me most about our Bonnie, is how she is a den mother to many people in many walks of life.
I think this picture captures the spirit of Bonnie, radiant hair and all.
Here Bonnie is on a Persian rug, reading to our grandson Lucas, who is holding his new kitty. Luc has two more books in the queue on Bonnie's leg.
Bonnie, teacher and den mother, taking joy in unfolding new worlds with others.
I love these yous, Bonnie. /Daniel for BanD
