Topic: Life and death
04th November 2011
This small drawing is in memory of my sister Polly who passed away recently. I had drawn this while she was still alive, not knowing that it would end up as tribute to her. It was just another small spontaneous ink drawing at the time. But, a few days later, just as I was looking at it and wondering what the title would be, the name "Polly" popped in my head AND I received an email saying that she was now going into hospice.
I shared a photo of the drawing with the family and a number of them saw in it a connection with our sister. Hard to say exactly what this connection is. Maybe it is best to leave it as a mystery. I do know that when she did die, there was indeed a crescent moon in the sky.
Now, this little drawing is at my mom's house; when I showed it to her, she immmediately picked up on a semplance to Polly. So, there the drawing sits, with my mom.

By Mary Benson: It really is striking what a difference the color makes. Yes, we all know this, snooze snooze, but when it is demonstrated like this, it is like a 2X4 to the side of the head. Thanks for putting both of them up.
