Leslie in Uganda with Gorillas in background, August 2015
...
Hey sweety, you always were fascinated with Africa and Gorillas in the Mist, so you conducted your own expedition to see them, and went by yourself!
....
I'm sorry I didn't attend, but chose to go to work, we, I, make mistakes!
...
Love and Kisses for you always, xoxo Joe

All the Big Things in Life (are done alone)
by Leslie ~ 1976
We are born alone
Pain is a private feeling
Achievements are done alone
A name represents an individual with
goals, thoughts and most needs
that are alone
When we die
we die alone
Each breath is breathed all alone
Walking, talking, touching and seeing,
these senses are felt alone
In a life full of people, we are
in truth living our lives alone
Within all .... we are
.... all .... a .... l .... one
(I hope not ...' albeit this is what you felt at one time, Love ,... me, your Joe)

Portals
An early spring morning out walking
Breeze off the green fields
Atop the ocean cliffs blowing
Reveling in the deliciousness
of the warm sunshine
And the wind in my hair.
(The deliciousness of warm sunshine
And the wind in my hair)
As I stumbled upon an ancient farm
Buildings standing frozen in time
The charm of these structures
Shored up by the memories they hold
Just as my memories provide
an endless scaffolding
For my loving friendship with you
No matter what mystical portals
Either one of us has crossed
or will one day travel through.

My sweet friend Leslie
Adventurer and lover of life-
Your quick laughter,
quirky point of view,
and deep insight into some of
the most puzzling aspects
of your fellow humans,
including me-
are sorely missed by many -
We like to call ourselves your tribe.
But I can see you clearly now,
whenever I gaze at the moon,
or bathe in the light of the sun.
For I feel you have taken
your place among the stars...
And I will continue to look up and smile
knowing that you can see me too,
from that place of eternal smiles
where we all know you are.
