Connections And Metaphors
The word, damah Heb., refers to a metaphor that transforms, an art form that starts with a commonly accepted way of looking at the world, and adds a surprise or unexpected twist that results in a new perspective that inspires and transforms the viewer. We are surrounded by metaphors that point us to the unseen world.

Memories & Stories
Sitting in the back of the Unit's Dining Room,
laughing & laughing.
It all goes away, you understand, all the memories...
of family Sunday dinners & Midwest childhoods
& a young girl's dance.
And more.
It ALL goes away, memories & stories
taking flight like birds that have stayed
too long in the Fall, and felt a North Wind.
Awayyyyyyyyyyyy it all goes,
even Dignity, of course —
until all that is left is
laughter & companionship.
What else really matters?
A Flock of Memories will wait for us
on the far side of The Green Hill,
like children excited at our Return.
