Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

ita's thread

A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Lee, I can add descriptions (as comments) to the lantern photos as well. No problem.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I just pasted my post from here into a comment on flickr - if there's anything you want to add, Lee, feel free.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Back in January of 2015, I wrote this about ita and posted it on Facebook. I did not include it with the photo this year - cause not really appropriate for the photoshop, but this is something you can forward to her sister separately if you think it is worth forwarding:

They say a moon fell
But they are wrong
Moons shine with borrowed light
Your light was brilliant and dazzling
and always and forever your own

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Of course, Lee

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just finished the flickr annotations as best I could

Let me know if I should change anything, and I will.

I also put all the posts that were text only into one document, along with the poems, and will send that to ita's sister.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, Lee.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Thank you, Lee.

A year ago minus a day this thread was created. This thread and board and all of you were in my mind all day long.
