Marietta enjoyed well-spent hours with a class which assembled in January and graduated in May. Together, they dug deep into the "10 Ideas That Matter Most" from How Philosophy Can Save Your Life. She also hosted three workshops at Hospice of the Piedmont. These "Renew and Review Days" were offered to chaplains, bereavement counselors and social workers. Relaxed and heartfelt conversations centered around single tasking, listening, simple pleasures, and gratitude.

Tis true that I'm easily awed. Upon reflection it seems that I reserved my amazement for what I thought of as the "natural world": Hummingbird wings flapping, dolphins gamboling, the Grand Canyon opening, a redwood stretching.

"It's a shame you're missing this beautiful Spring," not a few friends remarked, witnesses to my broken arm suffered at the beginning of April. Actually, I've never, ever been as much a part of this time of re-greening-present to each new color and scent, homebound yet traveling in nature's unfolding. What I remember best, and hopefully always, was gradually becoming a part of the world of birds. I healed to their tune, absorbed in their ways.
