David, the Chef

David, the Chef, watercolor, 8x6" (20x15 cm.). My mind and my heart are with my friend David. His lovely daughter, Laurel, passed away today. Mi mente y mi corazon estan con mi amigo David. Su preciosa hija Laurel ha muerto hoy.

The Mother's Song, an Inuit song:
It is so still in the house.
There is a calm in the house;
The snowstorm wails out there,
and the dogs are rolled up with snouts under the tail.
My little boy is sleeping on the ledge,
On his back he lies, breathing through his open mouth.
Hi little stomach is bulging round -
Is it strange if I start to cry with joy?
La Cancion de la Madre, una cancion de los Inuit: Esta tan silencioso y callado en la casa; la tormenta ruge afuera, y los perros se han acurrucado con la nariz escondida entre las piernas. Mi nino duerme, acostado de espaldas, respirando a traves de su boca abierta. Su pequeno estomago sobresale redondo. Es acaso tan raro si yo comienzo a llorar de felicidad?
