text messages Richard : [Fran]
Sept 3
[Richard I am so excited for all
our collaborations, it helps to
motivate me. I have a migraine
but I am going to work come hell
or high water. I was feeling pretty
rough this weekend but managed
to make a poetry video. I don't
want to overwhelm you with so
many videos, but I like this poem
and thought you might too]
[So orginally this was a piece
of music I was working on with
Michael before he passed away
last year. I was writing the melody
line and lyrics whilst he was
fighting for his life in the hospital
I didn't finish it in time and he
never go to hear it. I thought it
would be a lovely dedication to
put it into a poetry form]
Fran, I'm not overwhelmed by
your videos, I'm blessed by them
What you wrote is totally
beautiful, and it evoked for
me memories of my old friend
Heather...
Anyway, I'll
start the box set prints for Hold
On tomorrow. I promise they'll be
awesome

Fran, so I was already fast asleep
when you sent you text! But I
slept really well, and what a joy
to wake up surrounded by images
of you than being stared at by a
grizzly bear!! Anyway, I just
can't wait to start work on the
images for your Hold On poem this
morning! As much as I enjoyed the
visit, hope to never be that far
from you again. Sending you pure
west coast vibes of love &
affection!!

Fran, how is your back feeling
this morning? I'm concerned
about the pain you're feeling
PLEASE go easy on the lifting
... this morning I'm going back
to work on the box set for Hold
On. Anyway, happy first of
October, the first day of our
favourite two months would you
say? Sending you my most potent,
soothing, healing vibes
w?Love!!
[Richard it is a bit better so far
I promised I'll lift with the
legs today. I am in awe of how
much work you're doing on the
poetry pieces it means the
world!...]

[Richard it's a beautifully chilly
morning on the island it's dark
and quiet Thank goodness it's
Friday so I can rest my back and
neck for the weekend. I think
people will absolutely love
Salacia. I'm starting to pull
pieces together to create a
headpiece for her. I adore the
umbrella idea and promise to
bring my umbrella. I'm so excited
for Hold On!! Thank you for bringing
my poetry to life it means
so very much to me!!! Hold On
was one of my favourite pieces to
write. I'll work on Salacia's
outfit this weekend and I just
know the bathing suit will be
perfect and so vintage. Sending
you a steady flow of peaceful
island vibes and a big boatload
of love]
Fran, we are so totally on the
same wavelength! I know that
what you'll put together for
Salacia's attire will be awesome!
I know this cuz you do it every
time! So this weekend I'm
working on the two 6x* visual
prints for Hold On. I'll send
them, most likely on Monday, to
your email. For today sending
you the most soothing, healing
vibes for your sensitive back
and neck. And promise me that
for the next two days you won't
do any lifting, or stress out in
any way. Miss you SO much!!

...I did some great work on the
Hold On prints today! I'll finish
them tomorrow and send you the
pics on Tuesday. You are special
in so many ways!!

Fran Hope you're waking up
migraine-free again this morning!
My foot and ankle are totally fine
now, but I somehow managed to
strain some muscles or tendons in
my lower back ouch! Anyway,
it's no big problem and I can get
around ok. Right now I'm looking
thru all the prints for Hold On
You look fabulous in them! and the
lab did a nice job printing them
all. One 8x12 print to do today
and the set will be finished...
[...I just opened the email and
utterly blown away by Hold On 1 &
2!!! Thank you so much for
illustrating my words it means
so much to me!!!]
