The words of that song will resonate so well with you, after writing this very personal piece.

And better yet, we use them to write poems, stories, myths and whatever. Making them come alive and breathe again for others. That is a lush legacy we ourselves offer. A gift of ourselves, to ourselves, as well as others. Thank you my friend for reminding me of why we do the things we do.<br /><br />ElizabethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-61438657432517034542015-04-10T14:13:20.923-07:002015-04-10T14:13:20.923-07:00You are rich in family
