Love is a LANGUAGE, where mere WORDS have no part.
It is an ENERGY, FLOWING, from HEART, to HEART.
It is a FEELING within us, with a STRENGTH all it's OWN.
When we try to EXPRESS love, it takes FORM as a POEM.
The power of LOVE, is the SPIRIT WITHIN.
It is a POSITIVE energy, with no KNOWLEDGE, of SIN.
We are CONNECTED TOGETHER, YOU and I, HEART to HEART,
where no POWER on EARTH, not even DEATH,...makes us PART.

-''Heart To Heart' by Pauline DiBenedetto
 (from Anne's files)
To Robert Browning:

And now listen to me in turn.
You have touched me more profoundly
than I thought even you could have touched me --
my heart was full when you came here today.
Henceforward I am yours for everything....

- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
(from Anne's files)


In silence
In solitude
In the moments in between

I breathe your breath
I think of you
I know you through sight unseen

Who are you
My splendid one
Who makes me feel this way?

Who are you
My soulful beauty
Who stays with me and stays

The gift you gave
Can never end
It’s part of who I am

And though we twain
May never live as one
Our meeting was not in vain
-Anne Sucher

[Anne as a girl]
[Anne and Rufus, 17-Feb-2006]

These are some memories of Anne Sucher
who was with us from 1966 to 2006.

Many are serious and sad because she's not with us any more.
But Anne was wry and clever and creative, and fitfully happy,
and added brilliant splashes of colors and greys
to a too-often black and white world.

I started this site when we lost her, just before her 40th birthday.
She'd be 43 now.  Still so young, still with so much painting left to do.*

* (That's a sort of metaphor, you see, to tie in with
the "splashes of color" thing -- really Anne didn't paint much.)

Anyway, another year.  Happy birthday, Anne.

[the site's name comes from a song Anne wrote years ago
which her friends and fans came to know well -
a happy melody written to Lewis Carroll's 'Lobster-Quadrille' from 'Alice In Wonderland'.]


 "...Then turn not pale,
beloved snail,
but come and join the dance."
