I. Am. Woman.



She’s Gone

July 11, 2007

I loved her without knowing her. 

I fell in love with her writing the very first time I read her column in Sun.Star Daily.  

I lost her when I left.

Then I found her again in the wonderful world that is Multiply.  I lurked around her site, too shy to invite her to be my contact.  She was someone I admired very much, someone I aspired to become.  A very talented writer, a lover of many things — dusk, books, poetry, the deep, cats, yoga — she never wrote a mean word about anyone in her blog.  When she wrote, it was always about the stillness or grace of things.  But always there was that sadness that descended upon her again and again.

Ana, I thought there was always time to meet you, to get to know you, to be in the presence of such a beautiful spirit.  The few personal messages that we exchanged are forever etched in my heart.  You were always so kind to me, so gracious.  You have touched so many hearts and lives just by being who you are.  

I do not know you, and yet I love you.  By your leaving, you have left such a deep void in my heart.  

May your soul be at peace, at last.

get to know the WOMAN

would-be lawyer turned homemaker. (day)dreamer. cloud watcher. moon lover. hankers for a life that's bursting at the seams with books and wine and art. believes she can only get better with age -- and swears by it on her three-inch heels.
