“We all know we're going to die; what's important
is the kind of men and women we are in the face of this.”
Anne Lamott, Bird by
Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life

“I am going to live to be 100!”
she declared stoutly from her hospital bed
small
wrinkled
looking so frail in her hospital gown
her body bearing evidence of her illness
she is fresh from a walk across the room
“I couldn’t have done that yesterday”
the light in her bright eyes is furious
this is one determined woman
for whom life is still an adventure
still to be lived
out of her 80 something year old frame
the young girl still dances
Spirit driven
forever young
come O Sacred One
fill all your children
with such celestial
fire
