aperture priorityWednesday, October 24, 2007In Memory  « Previous Main In Memory Katherine Ann Patrick October 23, 1944 - October 17, 2007 Deep peace of the running wave to you Deep peace of the quiet earth to you Deep peace of the shining stars to you Deep peace of the infinite peace to you. --adapted from ancient Gaelic runes Tribute Farewell, faithful friend. Your blessed gift for skewering life's contradictions has brightened our lives and lifted our spirits over these many years. Now your death has diminished the world's magic. In your photography, you gave us new eyes with which to perceive delight in the ordinary and tenderly crafted words with which to explore life's meaning. Your commentary sparkled with incisive wit and intellect, which you yourself referred to as your keen sense of fun. We will miss your insights, but we will look for you in the children and the flowers, kittens, and clouds. Your devoted blog fans, Yackie, Melrose and Suellen (Jackie, Bill and Sue) We bathe your palms In the showers of wine, In the crook of the kindling, In the seven elements, In the sap of the tree. In the milk of honey. In the nine choice gifts In your clear beloved face, The gift of form, The gift of voice, The gift of fortune, The gift of goodness, The gift of eminence, The gift of charity, The gift of integrity, The gift of nobility, The gift of apt speech. --traditional Gaelic It is hoped that those of you who have visited this site for the photographs, wit, stories, and humor would leave your comments. permalink Comment (18) Gallery: People Tags: memory |
