Soul Walk

I often reflect on Lehan Winifred Ramsay and what she has meant to me.
Coming out of a University building after a Clubs and Associations training meeting yesterday evening my eye was taken by the sky. I had emerged out of the building into a dark side path I found was not lit as I expected.
Perhaps it really was because I had taken a road less travelled I happened on a friend at an intersection of the path I further took to walk home. My friend Dom is a mature age student whose specialist attention is in IT. I feel we found such important common ground in our shared talk.

I walked further with one of the security staff. He makes a difference in the work he does on campus. He walks a regular beat and recognizes the students who need the warm or plain kind word of a person who listens as another speaks. He walks a path less travelled.
Reading back over shared communication with Lehan, I see later she and I meet at intersections of a sort and I would in some ways too sadly forget if they were not captured on pages of The Pig’s Arms where we met. I wander around online and view her life work, her photography, read what we at the pub here, this wild and romantic blog post, had with Lehan as a contributor, our bold and innovative off-the-wall friend.
The work she sent me is not listed anywhere that I have found. ‘The Lotus Pond’ is one of her most beautiful and possibly significant paintings. Fireflies flash their illumination of magic and dart across the pond surface.
Thank you for the memories too, ‘Shoe. I was saddened to hear from Lehan’s sister when she was taken from us by the Black Dog. I have one original painting of hers – a silver ant on a vivid red background. I love it, but FM has a habit of secreting it in hard to find places.
FM doesn’t know the back story.
I would like very much to thank everyone who bought some of her art – and especially Atomou – the Greek dramatist who not only bought several paintings, but also sent her art materials and cash.
Life is so often bitter sweet, isn’t it.
Fond regards,
Emm
