On Mount Tamalpais "The Cult of Stellar Propitiation is bringing a monster down from the stars to devour San Francisco as an object lesson to the rest of the world and as proof of their devotion to their uncaring masters." (Steve Purcell for Steve Perrin's Cthulhu mythos superhero scenario in Different Worlds 35, July/August 1984)

The Magical Light of Morning - Mount Tam

May 16, 2023 I’ve seen some really amazing views in my decades of hiking the various trails of Mount Tamalpais and elsewhere in California. But this past Saturday’s interplay of fog, sunlight and forest really took my breath away. I’ve posted variations of this type of image in the past, and I don’t discount the idea of recency bias, but this and the series of images I took were some of the more…

“I did not want to think that my life would be like his, or that my mind would ever grow so pale, so without hard places and sharp, sheer drops.”

A friend got a new car and we took a drive up to Mount Tamalpias.

I found a train! It's the most basic and dangerous of things: a frame with some wheels, benches, and a grip to control the breaks as it coasts down a winding route. The carts were towed back up by a steam locomotive.

I haven't posted in a long time and a lot has happened

You may already know that my mother, Elizabeth Landman, passed away on January 23, 2023. Although she was 87, it was unexpected. My mom as an active, dynamic person who never slowed down or stopped unless she had no choice. She had a cough for a couple of months, but it didn't stop her from traveling, spending the holidays with family on the East Coast or going on her long-planned meditation retreat in western Massachusetts.

On New Year's day my sister, Roz, got a call from the retreat center that my mother was really sick and needed to get care. She picked mom up and took her to the ER. Mom was admitted to the CCU with pneumonia but she improved and was moved to the regular hospital within a week. We were hopeful that she would make a good recovery. However, the day after my beloved Lucious died in my arms I got a call from my sister, Celia, to come back to Massachusetts immediately. Mom might go at any time. I flew out the next day and spent eight days by her side. All of my five other siblings came to help and we took turns caring for her in the hospital: holding her hand, adjusting her pillows, reading to her aloud, wiping her forehead with cool cloths, feeding her and, at times, helping her breathe.

Her chest x-rays showed improvement but she was declining in front of us and no one knew why. Finally I had to go back to California. Two days after I returned, my mother died. I am grateful that she was able to have all six of her children with her at the end. I know that's all she really wanted.

I am most grateful that I experienced my mother as I never had before. Many of you know that our relationship was difficult but those eight days allowed me to know a mother who didn't put up defenses and who only showed me love. Because of that I was able to feel a love for her that I never knew I had. It was both beautiful and tragic.

I have been mourning my mother, especially because she had just begun a new chapter in her life. As sad as it is, at 87 years of age she was really just starting to live the life she wanted. I am also grieving the relationship that I could have had with her. How different my life would have been if it had been safe for me to love her. How much love there was that we never acknowledged until the very end. It's all so complicated.

Here are some pictures of her - from the young actress in NYC to the mother I knew at the Cape, our family home in Lexington, MA, Fenway Park and on Mt. Tam.

I have many, many photos from the past month in Palm Springs and now San Diego that I will post soon.
