| To Dora, with Love When we think of you, Dora our minds remember your laughter how it bubbled out its spontaneous quality its contagious nature issued forth from a heart warmed and brimmed with compassion. You were most your Self when caring for those in need wholeheartedly tending for those struck down or those just stuck. You challenged those you knew to see life to live their life “Can I say this” -- you’d say with your white head cocked to the side and with one eye half-squinted -- from a new perspective. “You see what I’m saying.” Your energy sprang, almost leaped at times, from an almost inexhaustible fount it was measured within your being then shared with gems of practical wisdom coming from the true heart of a truly “Practical Girl - who lived a crazy life”. An unfathomable mystery surrounded all you did making us wonder, filling us with puzzled questions of where it went and of just how far - we never could quite make out all you knew or didn’t know -- could you truly sense our desires or was it a mutual longing for just another hot fudge sundae? |

| Dora you truly
lived a life dedicated to giving dedicated to serving and although we’ll miss your grace - the gifts you shared will be realized ages hence when we too can glimpse through nature’s inner veil and join your dedicated quest for a farther shore. Your therapeutic touch touched us in so many ways over many years through many ills and even though we know in our hearts you still linger just out of reach we’ll miss your echoing peals of laughter -- it’s a laughter that still lurks that still lives just beyond our touch in the swaying of the wind or a babble from a brook -- it’s a sound to listen for hidden in nature and alive within the hug of one’s favorite tree. ©charlie elkind 8/25/1999 |
