<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Consolas;color:black">I honestly haven't wanted to contribute to this thread because it is so painful, albeit critical. Carolee was a close friend and a fellow traveler since I first met her in 1967. The posts I've
read on this thread bring up many important issues about legacy but are so evocatively painful that I haven't been able to read them all as thoroughly as I intend to when the rawness dies down. I was recently inspired to assemble this archive:<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://issuu.com/ghostnets/docs/rahmani_50years-medres">https://issuu.com/ghostnets/docs/rahmani_50years-medres</a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>out

studio.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Consolas;color:black"> What to say about this that hasn't already been said? I identify with all the biological species going extinct, disappearing before they have been identified, let alone, catalogued. Perhaps
we are like the lost languages of disappearing indigenous civilizations with all the lore a language contains.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
