If...Thanks, Chas, for your very thoughtful comment. If your experience runs anything like mine, you'll appreciate your mom more and more as time goes by. <br />I have what feels like very open, loving conversations with one of my kids; the other is much more guarded. I'd like to think both love and admire me -- perhaps in different ways -- as well as finding fault. How 'bout you & your boys?Jeffrey Williushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748080134354732541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037880479077170696.post-21784798986930101322017-05-22T12:29:55.751-05:002017-05-22T12:29:55.751-05:00Jeff: Very nice tribute to my Mom and her memory...Jeff: Very nice tribute to my Mom and her memory. She talked to my siblings about that "thin place," but she never mentioned it to me. Probably because I'm the skeptic in the family. <br /><br /> As I read your dialogue with your father, I wondered about the type of dialogue you now have with your adult children, now that you are the senior member of the family. You had a very special relationship with your Dad, despite his laconic personality. I hope your kids feel the same kind of pride in you that you felt for your Dad..<br /><br />--ChasChasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037880479077170696.post-4996182611769786472017-05-21T14:06:35.717-05:002017-05-21T14:06:35.717-05:00You can see the art at www.jeanrsampson.com

Since one thing they asked me to do was to let people know they were here, I chose to have a show of the paintings with a very non-threatening artists statement which did just that. I am not afraid to talk about my experience and I have :)jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11961979007878946132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037880479077170696.post-24305848886140424032017-05-20T15:45:37.536-05:002017-05-20T15:45:37.536-05:00What an incredible experience, Jean!

Ten years or so ago, I had 3 "dreams" three nights in a row, and at the same time, right before I woke up, that I was speaking with 2 men who were disguised aliens.I had painted a very strange and what I now call and introductory, painting a month or so before the dreams that got me to thinkng about visitors from other worlds, but I certainly was not expecting this! Anyway, they were very loving beings who clearly were concerned about events on earth and in the final dream they asked me if I thought "humankind" was worth saving. I was shocked and had no answer in either my heart or mind but I did see a sphere hanging in front of me, just above my head. I reached out and picked it like an apple and it had written on it the word YES. I told them "yes" and they said thank you and goodbye and I woke up knowing that I would never see them again. I had grown to love them so I was very sad. So yes, I do understand that this place, Jeff. :)jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11961979007878946132noreply@blogger.com
