There were 10 people at at the house this morning. All of them working to get ready for a funeral with the help of 3 bathrooms. There was noise and bustle, almost chaos. In contrast I was in my own little world working on a very slow, and meticulous cleaning job of one of Maynard Sorenson’s beautiful wood carvings.

Then all the noise stoped.

Every one had left, except Abigail and me. She started playing the piano. While cleaning Maynard’s swan on his funeral day, and wrapped up in Abby’s music, I felt the peace that I think people call home.

Good bye Maynard I will always remember and cherish the time we spent in your wood shop working.
