"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

At Peace

On Wednesday morning, November 6th, Margie passed away peacefully in her sleep blissfully unaware of the election results. She was a lifelong learner always searching for truth, promoting peace and justice, and passionately loving those who needed it the most. And she was a lot of fun at a party.

Just three short weeks ago Margie was doing her morning Wordle and journaling rituals and getting ready to host the book club at her assisted living facility. After her fall, she knew that her nearly 93 year old body was weary and not up to the challenge ahead of her. She decided it was time to go....and made it happen quickly. We are so very sad....but we are at peace. 

I continue to be touched by your cards and words of encouragement and concern. Thank you....from the bottom of my heart.
"Still what I want in my life is to be dazzled - to cast aside the weight of facts - and maybe even float a little above this difficult world."
