A Three-Legged Stool (Exploring the Renewal of Light Morning) Once some semblance of equanimity had been regained, the three remaining active crew members took stock. We began by reaffirming the need for patience, given that the full realization of Light Morning's core vision will span at least several generations. Then we nurtured a willingness to give renewal another go. Acknowledging that the tuition for round one had been pricey, we resolved to approach round two with a greater measure of caution and awareness. | |

Guardians (The Lofty Chronicles: Part Nine) Most of the will-work was pretty straightforward. My father had sent a model will, along with some comments and suggestions. The one real stumper concerned Lauren. In the unlikely event that Joyce and I should die simultaneously, my father recommended that we name a guardian for her, in order to forestall some judge rendering a decision about her placement without the benefit of knowing her, or us, or our wishes. | |

Earrings, Bicycles, and Power Bracelets (The Lofty Chronicles: Part Ten) When the invitation arrived in the mail several weeks ago, Lauren was thrilled to see that it was addressed to "Marlene, Joyce and Lauren." I could almost see Lauren's self-image shifting as she studied the envelope--one of those subtle, transitional moments in a child's life, like losing the first baby tooth or spending the first night away from home. The invitation told Lauren that she had been accepted into the special circle of Lisa's "women friends." | |
