  “She wrote passionately, expressing her point of view and defended every person’s right to be passionate so long as it fits her criteria of acceptable activism. The view that activism is somehow discounted or not valid if it holds a differing point of view from the author has been going on throughout history. • Publish or create art that goes against the church and you will be tortured. / • Speak up against the Nobles and you’ll be thrown in the dungeon. / • Hold up the government’s indiscretions in the old Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy or Spain, or pick any dictatorship that maintains passion for a cause that is not along “the company line” and you shall be punished or murdered.“ There is still no resolution. Though many want to read what is the big to do about words. Below is an abstract if you wish to read the entire original essay you may want to go read it here.

  I have some very sad news. My Mom suffered a massive cerebral stroke last night which has put her in a coma and unable to breathe on her own. She is now on life support and the news is so sad. The doctors tell us that she will not recover and that today we should make a decision as to what we want to do. We are gathering family to say their farewells to her. We were there until 3:30 am not wanting to leave her. Please pray for my family during this time and my dear ole father who married his high school sweetheart of 55 yrs. I don’t know what life will be like without her.She was and is the dearest person I have ever known and knowing that I will never hear her voice is to much for me to bear. / Thank you RB friends for letting me post this. I needed some friends to talk to. / Larry, I promise to get back with you on that note. / Love to all, / Susan

• Loss of My Mom

  / My Mom had breast cancer and it took her from me in 1999. / I first realized it was the beginning of the end In April when the cancer came back (she’d had a bout with it in December of 1998) way to quickly. She managed to keep a stiff upper lip and to smile and joke through it all until the pain got to bad. I had a “date” with her that Thursday and she wasn’t home.. her car was, but she wasn’t. Eventually, I found out that she had been taken to the hospital in a nearby city. I arrived there to see her and talk with her doctor. He was very uncomfortable with her confusion and wanted to have a brain scan done. / Permission given.. my brother and I found out that the cancer had spread to her brain. It was everywhere like pepper!! And.. she was dying.. / She gave me six weeks to learn to cope with losing her.. but it wasn’t enough. I bargained with God on a daily basis for one more day.. one more hour.. anything to keep her with me for one more moment. / She was a little woman.. only stood about 5’2” but she managed to occupy my entire being for over 50 years. How was I going to be able to go on without her wit.. her sarcasm.. her hugs and triple kisses.. how?? / I noticed her slipping away, inch by inch. She always thought I was there, just outside her room even when I wasn’t…. the disease did that.. / One moment.. it was WW II.. the next it was Vietnam.. she bounced back and forth through the pages of her life.. sometimes angry and sometimes sad. In a way, the disease was a blessing in disguise.. she never remembered being told that she was dying. She’d assumed that she had to be hospitalized because of the cancer treatment. There was no treatment.. they were merely keeping her comfortable while God took His time destroying her. / The hardest part, for me, was letting go. I arrived at the cancer home on a Monday afternoon a few weeks later and she was in a coma. Her body was there.. but, I’m not sure where she was. The rumor is that the hearing is the last to go.. I cried.. and whispered in her ear that she could let go now.. I’d be alright (I’m a lousey liar).. / She passed quietly on Wednesday morning at 2:10 AM June 23rd (funny how I remember that) and my life was changed forever. I couldn’t draw tor 2 years.. ended up seeing a psychiatrist for 2 years and now I’m better able to handle it. I still miss her.. guess I always will.. but I carry her in my heart now.. so I’m never without her anymore.

  My mother was diagnosed with cancer this past February 9th. Just a little over a month ago. She was taken back to the hospital by ambulance this Friday. She was having stomach pain and we thought it was because of not eating much of anything for a few days. Well, we were wrong. She has congested heart failure and the cancer has spread rapidly. They have her on a morphine drip so that she is not in pain, but it is now just a matter of time. She will most likely not fully wake up again because the pain medication is keeping her asleep. The hospital staff has been wonderful. They have even been sending to their cafeteria for coffee and food for us. Fortunately, my mother’s on sister flew in from Ohio on Thursday, so they were able to have some time together, though certainly not enough. As you can image, this is a very hard time for my family. I am blessed to have 2 brothers and 2 sisters and wonderful brother and sister in laws. This is extremely hard for my 2 nieces, 19 and 16. Watching them yesterday was almost as difficult for me as seeing my mother in her condition. My nephew, who is a US Marine, was able to fly up last night, so now all of the family is together. My son, Aidan, knows that he will not see his Nana again, and all things considered, he is doing ok. My daughter, Julia, is too young to understand. Fortunately, my husband’s brother and his wife were good enough to have Julia stay with them yesterday. My best friend, Sue has also been a big help with the kids. I don’t know how long we have with my mom. It could be hours, it could be days. So – I will probably not be on here much for the next few days. I wanted to let people know, one – because those of you who knew about my mother have been so wonderful and thoughtful to me these past weeks, and two – because I will not be here to answer emails and questions etc very often in the coming days. Thank you / Kerry __________ UPDATE: My mother passed peacefully in the early afternoon today. She is finally at rest. We were all with her and she went quietly. Thank you for all your prayers and kind thoughts. Kerry

  mother’s questioning again / the divine inquisitor, she brandishes her weapons / vicks vapo rub / sweet, sweet, bread pudding, dished out in hefty slices, all caramel and fantasy / shiny ruby red bicycles adorned with house shaped beige price tags / just dangling / spinning around so you can’t quite make out what’s written there / in shaky black, chalky fat shapes like beetles scurrying across the path this will cost you / a bit of ego, a smidgen of self-esteem / this will cost you / a portion of your life, and how about a dash of shame this will cost you / how about a mouthful of shame / how about a backhoe full unconditional love, so called because it is given without condition / but she falls short, and who can blame her / no one showed her, how could she be expected to show me / and yet, I learned / am learning what is so devoid in my family / acceptance, compassion, tolerance / love, untainted by agenda or selfish need is it really okay to realize and understand / that she did the best she could / and her best / sucked? she could never hear that and still understand / that I love her just the same, and even though / I want her to heal, for her soul is torn in two / I will love her just the same, nothing needed / and nothing gained / well / almost nothing love without the pricetag / what a concept she stares at my face / searching for the eyes that looked / so much like her own / and people used to say / “He looks so much like you!” / and now just ask politely / “And who is this handsome young man?” / she squirms, writhing in her knowledge / that I am changing, unable to see / that she could follow / if only she would follow unlike real jade her eyes / have not deepened over time / only dulled as they hang / precariously over the precipice / of her life she is priceless / but that concept is foreign / she can not see that her life / can not be for sale so she plops down in the front window of humiliation / at the corner of shame and disgrace / dusting off the gilded navy blue pants, / now loose, now snug, / straightens out a sleeveless polyester shirt / complete with a failed attempt at a picasso print, / tucks what little ebony falls behind / the cartilage along the tip top of her delicate ears / and stares into life, / defeated and waiting / with a price in her eyes and / goodbye in her mouth

  Neo,who is 7, is on the Left / Dethen, who is 6, is on the right / I know, I know, two of the most handsome boys you ever saw right? / ok, so maybe I am a bit partial, but I cant help it. / took this picture on one of our hikes in the Haulapai Mountains here in Kingman. I may not know the meaning of life…but I do know one thing… / I am so happy I have these boys to walk beside me through it though… / to share in their joy, / hold them in their pain / and just watch them grow, is so awesome… / they add spice to life… I cant image them all grown up, / or how I will feel when they finally leave the nest, / but the joy I get from just one of their shining smiles, / is worth its weight in diamonds… Thank you my big strong men, / for letting me be your Mom, / for letting me kiss your handsome faces, / and for all the love we get to share…

  I was a teen of the 70’s and don’t remember Punk music. I never would have been brave enough to be Punk in any way or form. I feel that people who are Punk are brave beyond the average. They dare to be different, to stand out and to shout aloud. I was a quiet, insecure mouse of a teen and am so surprised at how different my own daughter is to how I was. I’m enjoying my daughter’s ventures into the Punk world, but still holding on so she doesn’t self destruct.

  I’m loving this. I’m a very independent person, who had a babe a year back and has since had to slow WAY down in the world and be a bit more of a home body. This is a great thing here, because while the little sweet naps…I can touch base w/so many talented artists. I NEED to see this stuff! I love it, love it, love it!!!!! / / Inspiration is key, and art is a cooperative. Ahhhhh…

  well, sort of. This is probably the last birthday I will celebrate. My mother was diagnosed with incurable brain cancer earlier this week. Normally, my family doesn’t really celebrate adult birthdays, just the kids. We acknowledge birthdays, we just don’t have cake and ice cream and all that for the grown ups. However, my mom wanted us to have a little gathering at my sister’s and have cake and everything so it would be something happy and give her something to look forward to and take her mind off of things. Of course, all I can think of is that, short of a miracle, my mother will never be here to celebrate another birthday with me. We live with my mom in the house I grew up in. She’s really my best friend. She’s the one I always go to when I need to talk or have a problem. and she confides in me too. I can’t imagine life without her. While I’ve been fully aware that my parents are getting older and that the day would eventually come that I would lose them, I never imagined it would be as soon as this. Some of my friends here already know about my mom, and I’d like to thank you all again for your concern, prayers and friendship. It has helped more than you can know.

It is an interactive, resourceful, and informational site aimed to educate photographers on the art and techniques of selective coloring. Also, if you have time, sign my guestbook.

  Today marks the third year of my mom’s death. I’ve been living without my muse for three years, three years, it sound like so long to me, yet feels so short. / She truly was my muse. I look back at all the things I did, the crazy schedule I kept while taking care of her and realized, it was because it was for her, to make her proud and be a good daughter. And that I was, while she was living. Since she’s been dead….I’ve been the world’s worst daughter. But in a comical way. Tonight my brother and I were even teling each other “your momma” jokes. Let’s see, in the three years since the death of my conversative mother I have: called her an enema at her funeral, forgot her in a hotel room, dropped some of her on the floor and then vacuumed her and had her name tattoo’ed on my foot. Well, actually the last one is kind of sweet, except that she wasn’t too fond of my first tattoo so that probably wasn’t the best way to pay tribute to her. / What am I saying? Shoot, what am I thinking? What have I accomplished in the last three years to make her proud? And why does that matter so much to me? My father is still here, and I have his love and his blessing and concern in everything I do. Why do I feel I have a secret mission that I’m supossed to accomplish for her? / Actually this Vendetta shall we? Has subsided since last year. Now, I suppose that instead of feeling like she’s this ghostly figure above me that I need to sacrifice a small rodent for, I guess thsi year, I feel as if she’s right beside me, right by my side. And that I should have better stories to tell her while we chat.
