THOUGHTS

It was a dull wet day in March, 1974, I wanted the earth to give way and lead to another reality…

Jackie had taught me how important skin care was.

Wash with lukewarm water.

Rinse.

Pat dry.

I never knew how to get the water right.

I never asked about Luke as a temperature.

Photographs have a way of organizing us into slots of time, space, memory and perhaps temperament…

Out of nowhere, my Mama showed up with a new baby.

She loved that little boy.

She held him like he was the lamb of God.
