Throughout his career, my father advocated for the gay community and gender equality. He never shied away from voicing his opinion on controversial topics within the church and in his life. This may have hampered his career, but he refused to bow to popular opinion.

Legend has it that there was a mutiny in Heaven. The lesser gods like Agwe, Ogun, Erzulie, and a multitude of others were sent to Earth into exile to live amongst the humans. These gods have shared the foods, and the rum, and have often given in to their carnal desires. They picked Ephemera a chain of islands in the Caribbean including Mahogany Island, a place of infinite beauty branded "The Pearl of the Antilles" but prone to disasters often caused by her own inhabitants. God had a change of heart and dispatched the recently deceased Tonton Fortuné as a sage to Mahogany Island. His mission: To warn the youths of the dangers ahead for their piece of paradise if the Mahogany Islanders did not change their ways. Should they raise an army to eradicate the gangs and the violence that has taken over the land? Or should they garner all their inner strength, ally themselves with their environment, and offer a non-violent alternative to rescue their dying nation from the abyss? Mahogany Island shall not die! Mahogany Island shall not die!

Pundits, journalists, and individuals bemoan the state of the economy on a regular basis, but they usually direct their criticism at Wall Street manipulators and big corporations.The real blame should go to the structure of a system that condones and overlooks practices leading to world economic and financial crises that create high unemployment, a huge increase in debt, and a widening gap between the super rich and the poor.All this is leading to the destruction of the middle class and an alarming increase in the cost of living. Various solutions have been proposed, including nationalization of the entire private economy or an increase in private control of big banks and corporations. Others advocate simply taking over Wall Street without any clearly defined objectives.A new system would prevent the economic and financial crises as well as the social upheavals that go along with them, but it's none of those described above.

Some persons who get breast cancer do not survive. Muriel Klafehn is one of those people. This book chronicles her life from the time of diagnosis of cancer in her right breast until her death. Every day was lived to be as normal as it could be. And so it began, removing a breast on Friday, eating dinner out and attending a concert on Saturday, and directing the Chorale in church on Sunday. In this forthright manner, she became an inspiration to me and to all those who were touched by her life. Her prayer for peace at the outset of her "adventure" was granted by the Lord, fully sustaining her on a daily basis. She traveled during radiation therapy and she traveled in the midst of chemotherapy. Her love of music was satisfied by attending concerts and touring Broadway shows, and she drew energy from trips to the ocean that helped to rejuvenate her. Each fall she renewed her desire to get another hiking medallion. She maintained her passion for reading by the devouring book after book until it became a chore to concentrate. Cancer metastasized three different times in her body. She underwent sixty-three radiation treatments and eight chemotherapy treatments. In addition, there were CT scans, bone scans, and other diagnostic tests to which she was subjected. She had a prophylactic mastectomy of the left breast and numerous Aredia treatments. She suffered complications of COPD and radiation enteritis. Thirty-eight doctors were involved in her treatment. Through it, all Muriel judged that God had a purpose in permitting her to have cancer. She chose to focus on that purpose, exclaiming not Why me? But Why not me? Much of who Muriel was and the relationship we had is established through reminiscences and flashbacks. It is rare that one has the opportunity to grieve while the individual is still alive but Muriel, in her own way, gave that gift to me as her life ebbed away. I and all who knew Muriel stand as one. Though we have been deprived by her absence, we are made greater by her memory and gain solace in knowing that we will always bear the calm, irreplaceable stamp of her adventurous life.
