John Fiore, an old high school friend of mine, died yesterday morning after a long battle with leukemia. My sister Sue, who lives close to John's family in California, called to tell me the news. I had just been reading John's powerfully moving poems at breakfast. You can read them here.I pulled off the highway yesterday afternoon to take this picture. See the square shaped opening between the two clouds? It looked to me like a window. There was a small rainbow sparkling on the left side of that opening, and I thought of John passing through that space. The cloud on the right looks like a white cat, and the cloud on the left, a hedgehog, perhaps. Two feathery white angels, nose to nose, paw to paw, forming a portal...
Godspeed, John.
