A dear friend of Denise’s who knows her well says,
“Read this poem, and you will know the essence of Denise.”


The most visible creators I know of
Are those artists whose medium is life itself.

The ones who express the inexpressible-
Without brush, hammer, clay or guitar.

They neither paint nor sculpt-
Their Medium is Being

Whatever their presence touches has increased life.
They see and don’t have to draw.

They are the artists of
Being alive.

-words taken from a card by J. Stone
