family portrait

We all grow up with the weight of history on us. 

Our ancestors dwell in the attics of our brains 

as they do in the spiraling chains of knowledge 

hidden in every cell of our bodies. 

~Shirley Abbott

a remarkable lady and friend

“Call it a clan, 

call it a network,

 call it a tribe,

 call it a family: 

Whatever you call it, 

whoever you are, 

you need one.”

– Jane Howard
