“Love is really the only thing we can possess, keep with us, and take with us.” — Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Those who learned to know death, rather than to fear and fight it, become our teachers about life.

The simple life on the farm was everything to me. Nothing was more relaxing after a long plane flight than to reach the winding driveway that led up to my house. The quiet of the night was more soothing than a sleeping pill.

Consciously or not, we are all on a quest for answers, trying to learn the lessons of life. We grapple with fear and guilt. We search for meaning, love, and power. We try to understand fear, loss, and time. We seek to discover who we are and how we can become truly happy.

The only incontrovertible fact of my work is the importance of life.
