I dedicate this site to the memory of my Aunt Ada who drank life like every day was a frothy cappucino. This shot was taken just a year ago at my dear friend Cindy Serano's house in Pompano Beach Florida, near where Ada lived. Cindy was yet one more of her fans. Aunt Ada passed away at age 91 on March 5, 2006, just a few days after Martijn and I had a rare opportunity to spend some of her final days together. It was an honor to be in her company. Her life reminds me that we all need to drink up every day and fill someone else's cup with love. Ada lived well and died about as gracefully as one can. She remembered a lot about what was but always looked forward to what would be. Even to that unknown place we will go.Some friends say I inherited my Aunt Ada's spirit. That feels fortunate. I like to sing and laugh and it's true - I really love people. Well, most people. I've taken a new beginning for a patch of time here in Europe, in the Netherlands, in the medieval city of Maastricht, right here right on the River Muse (or Maas). I hope her waters sing to me like Ada used to and inspire me to find my way.
This blog is the place I'll share my days of beginning. Like Aunt Ada, I'll try to make every day a new one for discovery. And if I'm really lucky for insights and reflection. Come along with me and journey through this new millennium.
