Jeanne

Jeanne before Cancer surgery the next day.

I appreciate knowing something about this picture, but even without an explanation it evokes strong feelings. Fine work! Regards...

I viewed this picture after viewing your midnight to 5AM series of Dublin. The feeling certainly carries over to dawn.

Jeanne my soul mate of 36 years, died of cancer on May 11, 2008 at home with me, the cats and Mozart's Requim in E playing.

Her eyes appear to be looking at something, and yet I would think she is not. It's obvious she is in a place of thought at this moment that has left all the world behind. She has a knowledge, possibly a revelation, that she would not share. She could not share. To do so, you would have to be where she is. And you, John, could be the only person who had come even close. This is wisdom that makes us hurt, but makes us human. And there is still grace to be found within it all.

 

Bless you.
