She sought to build into her life:

A full measure of intent,
held loosely
but passionately.

Time spent in beauty, in creativity, in growth.

A hope which may be far over the horizon.
A hope only a few steps away.

Stimulation:
in conversation,
in observation,
in undertaking.

An openness to wonders in the world.
A way to not be asphyxiated by its anxieties.

A way to interact with people based in dignity,
leaving all parties with a sense of value.

A willingness to approach complexity,
internal and external,
with grace.
