Our dear puddleriver has passed on
She was asked: Is this the puddleriver?
She wrote: It *is* the puddle river, lol! South Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac. A little more than a mile from its source. About 100 yards upstream from the cabin.

Dear Ones, I received this text from Scott 5 minutes ago…
ReplyDelete“ Well it seems like it’s been a long time since I was in touch. Every day seemed like the next where I come for a couple hours a day a sit by her side for a couple hours and listen to her go ow, ow, ow. Sometimes it’s back, or tail bone, or legs. Yesterday it was knees. I try to help her by finding a comfortable position. Frequently, moving her just causes more ows. Well, at last, no more pain for mom. She passed this morning. I’m with her now. Her hands are growing cold but the back of her neck is still warm.”

The memory of her will long live with us.

DeleteScott (Cooter) added:
“Your card arrived just in time. I found it by her bedside Sunday evening. I opened it, put her glasses on her head and showed it to her. I could see her eyes scanning back and forth. I read it to her as well. I didn’t get a lot of feedback to let me know she understood it completely, but I am sure she knew she was loved.”
Very fine; thank you both, Cooter and listener.

Just so you know, in the card I sent puddle, I wrote that the whole Blog was sending love and that she is forever in our hearts.
DeleteI'll miss her.
DeleteAs will I.

New research into the dying brain suggests the line between life and death may be less distinct than previously thought. [Click] One should consider the assumption by both subjects and researches that people have individual (and often immortal) souls (even if called something else), which was evidently accepted without question by Freud and others of his associates in Vienna. Whether one’s understanding of self and other involves the concept of an individual soul or not certainly affects both one’s experience and the study of such things. I recall a story of a person at an international conference who asked an Indian philosopher what he thought of Freud, and was told that Freud’s philosophy was that the world is made up of long things and round things. Some of the experiences described in this story are certainly accessible during life.

ReplyDeleteWish me luck! I have just submitted my short story, "The Egg of Ninlil" to the Science fiction/fantasy magazine Cosmic Roots and Eldritch Shores. This is not a well-known magazine although it does pay professional rates. I think my recent changes have significantly improved the story, so I'm hopeful.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's wonderful, Bill. Good luck!
DeleteLuck wished!

The very best sort of luck be upon you! 🍀
