She understands the challenges, complications and vagaries of life and still expresses bouyant enthusiasm and humour - and she is raising two teenage boys. Mavis suffered a stroke just before Christmas and is recovering nicely.
A treasured friend and truly our wildest member.
I have lived on the lip
of insanity, wanting to know reasons,
knocking on a door. It opens.
I've been knocking from the inside!...
Dance when you're broken open
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you're perfectly free.
Rumi
