Sent to Sara Remke / co-owner of Black Dog Cafe:

‘Sara!

Today is a poignant + powerful marker for the Remke family – closing the door, the entrance of the welcoming balm of the Black Dog Cafe. A place is simply a space until it becomes a purposeful hub of loving kindness.
Thank you!

I created whorls/whirls of gold love for each: Stacy/Andy/you!

I will bring the art to you early this evening. What time is best?

💐❤️🙌🏼❤️💐

Catherine

Twenty-five years ago

tonight,

unbeknownst to us both,

my Mom and I had our last

and

an unforgettable, open heart, loving dialogue. 

SACRED.

BLESSED oracle.

“I SEE YOU” grace.

I took this photograph of my Mom six months before

– in her garden, with her Springers: Abbie and Winston.
