BROOKS MCKAY   1945-1994

Look to this Day
For it is life,
the very life of life.
In its brief course lie all
the realities and varities of existence,
the bliss of growth,
the splendor of action
the glory of power-
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today, well lived,
Makes every yesterday
a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
-Sanskrit Proverb

Dear J.J. and John,

Here are a few more poems. At present I'm working on a short play about "The Men In My Life". It tells very quickly how it all came to be and my acceptance of it. "It's a boy, Ms. McKay!" "Well, I show hopes he loves to cook and clean and tend." For about 3 wks in February, I had very little energy, so was inactive and suffered. Still at home as I had to refuse several offers to work. One was as choreographer for the stage play of "Clockwork Orange".

Love
Brooks & J¸rgen
