Magic Memories

“God gave us memories that we might have roses in December.” ~J.M. Barrie

Tonight a few of us gathered to watch an old videotape of a performance we used to do in the Deaf Community called The Magic of ASL. I had hoped it would be one of the older tapes but this one had some fun moments on it. One of the stars of the show has since died; he was someone many interpreters, including myself, owe a great debt to as he welcomed us into the community and helped us maneuver through all the cultural issues.

I have fond memories of those early days in the community. We might revive it and have another live performance. Memories exist on a cold November night with snow falling. December is soon here and roses are fading but their fragrance lingers.

Peace,

Suzanne
