To all of my mother's Renderosity friends:
It saddens me to no end to tell you that my mother, Mina, passed on May 31st, from endometrial cancer. She is survived by my father, Roger, and myself. I apologize for not letting you all know sooner, but her passing has left me with a broken heart and it is very hard to write this, even now. I don't suppose there will ever come a time that it will be easier.
I know how much she loved you all, how much it meant to her to have met such wonderful people, and how much it meant to her to create & share her art with you. I am leaving her work here for a while, as tribute to her, her beauty, her talent & her love.
Brightest Blessings to you all!
Heather
 Mina's daughter
Thanks to all for stopping by and hope you enjoy your visit.

"I get out my work and have a show for myself before I have it publicly.
I make up my own mind about how good or bad or indifferent it is.
After that the critics can write what they please.
I have already settled it for myself so flattery
and criticism go down the same drain and I am quite free.

My MOST favorite of poems! "...they are other nations, caught with ourselves" is so profound! It took me too long to realize what that meant, but I do now. When we die, all our assets go to the ASPCA. Love this dedication!!! Wonderful image and deeply profound words!! ~ Big hug! ~

Mina, thank you so much for the wonderful dedication, poem, and evocative image. I'm beyond words. And that Whitman poem is one I hadn't read before. It's wonderful: "... they do not make me sick discussing their duty to God ..." "... not one is demented with the mania of owning things ..." Thanks again for all this. For me, real maturity will come with the realization of the interconnectedness of all things. But the manner in which most of humanity disregards the natural world and animals only indicates how far we have to go. This post provides hope. Big hug! Gene
