MARIAN MCKENZIE-CONE

Be You: A piece born out of loss of special people in my life, five in five
months. The piece reflects on life and the impermanence of all things. The
birds nest abandoned after protecting and giving life, the monarch butter-
flies who are fleeting and pansies which represent my Mothers love for us as

individuals and collectively as family. Be You, make the most of all our days
and take time to reflect on the beautiful memories we carry in our hearts for
ever.

Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu “There is no need to run outside For better
seeing, Nor to peer from a window. Rather abide At the center of your
being; For the more you leave it, the less you learn. Search your heart

and see If he is wise who takes each turn: The way to do is to be”.

BE YOU
