Writing and Memory

  1. Hi Prof Miller-

    I am so sorry for your loss, especially to go through something so traumatic as Parkinson’s. This story is so touching and so beautifully written Professor Miller, and as someone who has been dealing with a mother who has a chronic illness that will probably consume her life early, it just broke my heart but also made me feel connected. This experience for me has created visual pictures in my mind often without words, but bits of metaphoric poetry. Sometimes I see visions of the “big bang” that as everything exploded in the universe that we collectively separated but that like sprinkles of fairy dust, we share all the beauty and magic of still being one body….. so the connective tissue, while light years apart are relative and of the same essence. I guess studying space is really about mystery and I like to have faith in things that are unseen and larger than what we currently know. Quantum physics has been revealing that we aren’t even on concrete ground and so at least for me, the unknown helps me to use my imagination to create beautiful, colorful, fanciful worlds. Kinda Peter Pan I guess. 🙂

    Anyway, are you turning this into a book? I wanted it to keep on going……

  2. Wow, I look forward to tracking this project and reading more. I still vividly remember the reading your dad did at St. John’s and I still have my copy of A Small Town is Best for Waiting. What a journey you have embarked on….
