Belvidere Moon 1995, Self Portrait 2008


I was 16 going on 17 when I took this photograph. I'm twice as old today as I was the evening I took this picture. I could see the entire circle of the night descending. I wish I could put into words the way this memory stirs me...

I honor the ecstatic embrace of shadow and light.

I vow here and now not to give in to despair. I will not focus on the negative. Everything has changed in so far as now I know that my friend has cancer. And yet nothing has changed. I still feel a deep love and respect for the complex diversity of all life. I still feel the closeness of my wonderful friend. The profound love we have for each other is still here and always will be. Each moment is the same unknown moment it's always been.
