Rooted in the family tree, I ponder my place and allegience to it.
There are endless ruts of great majesty in the emotional tides of being an Urdang,
Rather late in the day, I stand, determined to avoid the distortion of being right over being happy.
And look beyond the island of self, toward the horizon of humanity.
What stares back is a glorious mess; seasons and people coming and going faster than a sigh.
As my mother would say, ‘Such is life.’

So true…and expressed beautifully. Moms share thoughts with us that we carry through a lifetime.
Thinking of you and understand the range of emotions at this time. Peace and love, stay well Stephanie.

How wonderfully sweet. Same to you, Marlin.
Amazing photos this post. The pool shot with the hat is VERY fashion, though I realize its context was a bit more substantial than that. Amazing.
Good eyed, John Gibson. I am proud to please you. Now please me! Actually you have, with this compliment.
