Remembering Joyce

I don't know if any of you knew Joyce Maxner, but she was a good friend
and extraordinary haijin. Joyce passed away last week after a long battle
with lung cancer. We grew to be close on-line and telephone friends and,
as a practicing Jewish/Buddhist, she was fully in touch with an astounding
inner awareness and, in the end, was at peace.
This haiga was our last collaboration. She sent me the poem and wanted me
to make a haiga from it. Time ran out and I only yesterday completed it.
So for you and for my friend and life mentor Joyce.......
