In Memoriam

A couple of days before she died, my wife Sarah jotted down the title to the book she had almost finished on a slip of paper:

A Generous Spirit: Exploring New Directions for the Arts referring to the idea that runs through the book, that art is a gift, not a product.

I find the title especially fitting because Sarah was herself a truly generous spirit, who enriched the lives of many people she encountered in her wonderfully creative life.

A sky full of stars after the death of my love which one are you dear?
