On August 23, 1970, at 12:03 PM in a little town called Madras in Oregon, I became a mother. 52 years ago I experienced a LOVE beyond all of my understanding which transformed my life and multiplied in and out of my being. During the past years since I have posted on Facebook, I have shared how deeply his life and passing affected me. He remains a guiding light on my pathway forward. When I am reminded of the lyrics to a song River wrote at 15, "RUN TO THE RESCUE WITH LOVE AND PEACE WILL FOLLOW", I am ever grateful for this inspiration which is foundational to the work of The River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding!
