Favorite Place
I haven’t said very much about my mother’s health here, because every time I started to the language refused it—or I refused language. It just didn’t seem right. But I can say that she’s in better shape tonight, a serious relief, especially when we were certain we were going to lose her not long ago. A broken hip is no small thing, and when you join that to other conditions... I am in awe of her resilience—or at least the body’s resilience. Maybe this is a place for an old picture of her. I don’t think this is the best picture of her—she was a lot prettier than this back then—but I remember her getting a kick out of it. And it was taken in her favorite place, near our old summerhouse, off the Great Egg Harbor Bay.

very great gatsby-ish! I love the shades esp. And glad to hear your mother is doing better.

as to that little boy- he grew up to do both his Mom and his LGBT tribe proud as a human being and a writer.
Paul, you and your Mom are being remembered here, yes in prayer and practice which is a combination of Zen training and Anglican intercession.
I personally owe an immense debt of gratitude to Mark for 'Heaven's Coast' which among other things powerfully validated my own loss, so if there is anything else I can be doing in my practice for you and your Mom, you've just got to e-mail me at deo@total.net

What a beautiful picture! Your mom is very glam, and look at you!! So cute!
So glad to hear that she's doing better, and honoring, for sure, gut feeling about what and where to put things into language. That's such a great picture.
Glad to hear she's doing better. That photo is brilliant. It evokes time and place so beautifully.
great news. i'm glad for the update.
So glad to hear your mom is doing better, Paul. This photo makes me a little teary. It's just gorgeous and sweet and full of love. I can understand why it's a favorite photo of hers.
