Mission

A good friend once said to me: "If a door opens in front of you - get off your ass and dance through it...laughing."

I'm trying, Nancy!

For Nancy - The Lady In The Moon

Feeling a little melancholy tonight.
Aaaaoooooooooo!!


Many thanks to Rowena for generously allowing me to mess up her incredible  photo of the almost harvest moon with some 25 year old poetry.

Nancy, of course, is the inspiration behind the title for this blog.  She died in 1982 just a few days shy of her 27th birthday.  Almost 3 decades later and I still howl at every full moon in her honour.

Hi Cheryl,
Although I didn't have the pleasure of knowing your friend, reading this poem tells me that she certainly has earned a special spot in your heart. I am touched that you took a simple photo of mine and turned it into this wonderful tribute to Nancy! Brava!
