I pretty much imagine life as it is not, and then gratefully look back upon that imagination as if it were real. I was standing near an RDA studio; you were listening to one of my friends. Suddenly, you looked in my direction and smiled. The world opened its eyes. An unforgettable moment.
I write
or
I paint
or garden.
I take walks and am glad to be here. Lately I knit, a lot. I am the mother of three generously loving young men. Life has turned me inside out and I trust it to take me all the way. I am happy to be woman as Sister, Mother, and Beloved. My name is Barbara Heile.
A day remembered as a moment. A sliver. And life . . . ? A slightly shorter moment.
