A Greeting From Beyond
10-25-07
I'm on an assembly line and a woman is molding clay into replicas of different religious and mythical icons from around the world. The student I work with at school is also there and helping to paint them. There are only 3 different colors to choose from--magenta, turquoise, and dark blue. Different assembly lines have different colors. I inquire about borrowing different colors and I remark at how fast the woman is building the sculptures. I'm almost envious and disappointed that we can't have more paints.
Then I'm told I have a call from "not on the continent." I pick up the phone and the woman on the other end is my late friend Susan who died of cancer last year. She says, "Hi, how ya doin'?" I say "Good!" Then total silence.
I wake up smiling. It almost felt like I really heard from her.
