How many roses in early summer uncurling above the pale sands then falling back in unfathomable willingness? And what can you say? Glory to the rose and the leaf, to the seed, to the silver fish. Glory to time and the wild fields, and to joy. And to grief's shock and torpor, its near swoon. — Mary Oliver

As is the case for many of us, Tori's ancestry is a mix of races and religions, philosophies and professions, fortunes and foibles.

It will be very interesting one day to follow the pattern of our life as it is spread out like a beautiful tapestry.
