I feel her living in you and I know she is the same as the one that lives in me,  Stoneware, silver, freshwater pearl, mother of pearl, shell, cubic zirconia, 2024.

Mother as child, child gazing upon mother, becoming mother.

"Watching the geese
go south,
I find that
even in silence
and even in stillness
and even in my home
alone
without a thought
or a movement

I am a part
of a great migration
that will take me
to another place.

And though
all the things I love
may pass away and the great family
of things and people
I have invited
around me
will see me go,

I feel them living
in me
like a great gathering
about to go with me,
to reach
a greater home"
