In the manner of Friends

Look at everything as though you were seeing it for the first time
or last time. Then your time on earth will be filled with glory.
- Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn



We're soon on the road to B's Memorial service in Maine. A simple Quaker service, a send off in the manner of Friends for a life well lived.

This photo of her is from a wonderful whale watch we all went on out of Eastport last summer. She loved every moment of it including amazing close views of whales and sea birds through our magical binoculars. This is how I will always see her in my mind's eye, a child of the mountains, but so happy at sea.
