Life is short. Naughty people seem to live forever (i'll be one of those) while the good ones are whisked away - probably because we don't deserve to walk among them. Anyway, a person I got to know over the years in a small art group has passed away after a lingering illness. She was one of those kinds of people that don't seem real. Walked with lions and gorillas, travelled the globe, met her husband on a trip in a jeep across Africa, sat under the stars in African savannahs...was she real? well of course. But she was also like a movie star to me - acting in the most amazing movie - which was really her life. Glamorous, beautiful and yet kind. I loved her lots and my thoughts are with her family. Good night Tessa - we mortals will miss you. xo
