Remembering Mahonyha

Dear Selina and Family,

the house is quiet, I can still myself and try to find the words...
Such sweet anguish, remembering Mahonyha. Her laughter, I can still hear it in the hall and coming down from Sahjia's bedroom. Their innocent somber meditations in the grass. Her hair in her face as she leaned over her desk.

Mahonyha is a part of each of us, whom she touched.
She helped us all become...

Please know that my heart is with all of you at this time of such deep sorrow.
Much, much love,
Lisa

~MAHONYHA~
The dawn of the day was overcome with deep sadness and sorrow.
Your soul escapes the beauty of your body with softness and grace.
As the day awakens your gentle touch still whispers around with courage and trust.
Breezes of your sweet scent surrounds us with comfort and peace as we memorize your exquisiteness; still and silent.
With each rising morning and in the shadows of each evening, your precious soul is present and the essence of your strength fills all space.
With much love
Your sister, Molly

There is a place where the sidewalk ends And before the street begins, And there the grass grows soft and white, And there the sun burns crimson bright, And there the moon‐bird rests from his flight To cool in the peppermint wind. Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black And the dark street winds and bends. Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And watch where the chalk‐white arrows go To the place where the sidewalk ends. Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we'll go where the chalk‐white arrows go, For the children, they mark, and the children, they know The place where the sidewalk ends.
