Mar's Zazen: Paying homage to evolution on Mother's Day

Welcome to my place in cyberspace. I created this blog as a forum for those near and far. I apologize for its impersonal nature, but in this quintessential, modern-day world rife with ironic technology, this forum seems to be a viable, (though hardly ideal), alternative for some form of communication when time factors conflict. As you kick back here, I hope you enjoy your visit; but keep in mind that no progression in technology can ever replace my yearnings for a more personal exhange. In the meantime, let's toast to you and your family's health, hope, and happiness. Thanks for letting me share with you.

Paying homage to evolution on Mother's Day

Nancy and Laura, Photograph by Glenn Lee Friedman

Mar just had a sort of Oprah Aha! moment. She saw this photo on her cousin Laura's blog and thought it was the most beautiful black and white photo she had ever seen of her cousin Jackie and Jackie's son, Maddox. The truth is, is that this is really a photo of Marla's Aunt Nancy and cousin, Laura! Not that this fact makes the photo any less amazing. And who needs to wipe her antiquated cornea clean? New reading glasses or not, this is a photo that infers the paragon of all humanistic design.

I dedicate the song below to all the Moms in my family, but especially for the Moms whose kids have grown their wings to fly free with what you hope includes the insights and values you worked your whole life to painstakingly instill in them.
