Tomorrow at 3 in the afternoon at Opus VII Gallery will, what I am sure, be a very beautiful service with good people and good memories as we gather to remember our love for Marcia Macdonald. And I am also sure there will be good music. I remember Marcia walking to work one morning listening to her ipod, tears streaming down her face. "What's wrong? Are you OK?", I wanted to know. Perfectly fine, she was perfectly fine, just the piece of music was so beautiful, it had brought her to tears. Marcia was like that.
And here's something that brings me to tears. One of her last pieces she made, in which she was working through some of her feeling about having cancer. And which, with characteristic generosity she donated to a craft fundraising auction. I wonder who's wearing that piece now.
Many people will be wearing her work at the memorial tomorrow and I think that's a beautiful thing.
