Becky (1988-2009)


This morning, after I stretched and then sat for meditation, I went out in the garden. I watered and weeded. I picked greens and herbs and cherry tomatoes to bring to work as part of my lunch.
I usually work from home on Friday, but had to go in for an intense series of meetings.
I picked these glorious turnips for our office administrative assistant. She is now the only support person in our office, and she is thus unsupported herself. She enjoys when I share edibles from the garden.
Why shouldn’t you care? Enjoy having freedom on the internet to read this blog, among others? To learn about what is happening in the world and to explore and expand your learning? To connect on Facebook and Twitter? Think 300 million people shouldn’t be censored? Consider signing the petition to Dell and HP to tell them they shouldn’t install special blocking software in computers for the China market.

On the way to Madhuban, we caught a rare glimpse of Trishula and Nanda Devi. It is usually too misty to see them from where we were staying, and they were not visible when we were on the drive back to Delhi.
In a few hours, I head to the airport for the long ride home, having bathed in the beauty of music and mountains, with, I hope, fresh perspective for the work ahead.
Around the base of this statue, it says this as one walks clockwise from the front right. And when done circumnavigating, and facing the same direction in the direction the statue of Mary McLeod Bethune, one can see down East Capitol Street to the Capitol Dome:
“I leave you love. I leave you hope. I leave you the challenge of developing confidence in one another. I leave you a thirst for education. I leave you a respect for the use of power. I leave you faith. I leave you racial dignity. I also leave you a desire to live harmoniously with your fellow man. I leave you finally a responsibility to our young people.”

I am so sorry for your loss. She will be greatly missed!
She was a good friend.
Oh, I’m so sorry about Becky’s death. It is so hard to lose such a dear, dear friend. May she rest in peace.
I know you must miss her so. She will be with you in so many ways I’m sure. You were her dear friend and so loving. Best wishes.
An Unbelievable cat – 21 years old – must have been a very very happy cat 🙂 I really am sorry Elizabeth!
