She Left Us Something Wonderful

My friend Robby took this outstanding shot of a Super Moon
rising outside her home in the desert nine years ago. The post came up on my
Facebook Memories today and it made me smile so much because it's such a
sublime composition of sand, spent yucca blooms, and that glorious full moon as
it breaks over the horizon.
Robby died a couple of years ago - and there's so many of us
that miss her joy of life even as she spent her remaining years battling
insidious kidney disease.
But she's very much alive in my mind as I once again gaze at
what she captured here one night, so many moons ago.
"Leave something behind," poets and mystics advice us.
Aside from her steadfast friendship and warrior-like
determination to beat the odds, Robby also left behind a most exquisite
picture.
And for starters, that is not a bad something left behind
whatsoever.
It's just the opposite.
