Dear Mago,
Yesterday I was looking at some old family photographs, especially the one below that was taken of you in 1900. Even though it was taken long before we who are still alive knew you, it is ever so close now. I note that your mother died in March, 1900, the same year that this photo was taken. Thank you for saving this photo for us to see. At age 14 your image has the intensity of an icon, eyes that see us wherever we are as deep and wide as our opening to the spirit within ourselves.
