remembering barb.

one third of the master mind that is martin's passed away on september thirteenth. i attended her memorial yesterday and i realized what an incredible woman barb was. when the dalai lama heard of her passing, he cried (not a joke). when barb spent time with mother teresa in the eighties, she roller skated around as they discussed who was their favorite, mary or jesus (also not a joke).


if there's anything that i learned in the short time that i knew barb, combined with all the words said about her at the memorial, it is that the highest form of compassion is giving without expecting anything in return. and that is what barb did and who she was. she defined compassion.

read her obituary here.
