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.

A subtle but sumptuous image and as for the sentiments I do so agree .... one of my favourite songs by Melanie Safka [a 70s/80s singer] summarised what I mean with her song PERCEIVE IT: Perceive it and say goodbye to it Don't hold on to any one moment You've got to love it and then release it Don't hold on to any one moment Draw your boundaries and paint your signs Though they say "alone" At least I have a word to pray And I follow needing all there is of time Solo dancers learn their steps along the way Perceive it and say goodbye to it Don't hold on to any one moment You've got to love it and then release it Don't hold on to any one moment Great work Mike

Tom Robbins once stated, in one of his novels, that one's favorite Beatle reveals much about that person. Of course that probably doesn't hold so true today due to the nature of impermanence. :-) Heraclitus said that we couldn't step into the same river twice. True ... the river we saw yesterday is not the same river viewed today and, yet, it is the same river. Such is the nature of impermanence. Realizing the nature of "impermanence" gives rise to freedom where all things are possible. In Anne Rice's "Interview With The Vampire" Claudia, became a vampire destined to never change from a little girl into a woman -- for eternity. Truly a sad destiny. OK, I've drifted a bit Mina. I love the fine atmospheric quality of this piece. Very well done!!! You always come up with such interesting concepts. And thanks for the Kamikaze joke. I'm sure those pilots understood the nature of impermanence. *****
