Art & Poetry CACTUS CANCER SOCIETY Carol Anne was my friend. She took lovely photos, had the fluffiest cats, and she passed away a few months ago. We spent hours and hours together in online programming with Cactus Cancer Society. I had the pleasure of hearing her writing, seeing her artwork, and listening to her creative and generous take on the world around us. I also bought this piece of hers at an auction and display it in my home. It shows a delicate, yet fierce frozen water bubble. Survivor's guilt feels a lot like this to me. I'm fierce in my desire to honor my friend and her legacy while feeling sometimes delicate and fragile when considering my loss. Maybe that balance is OK. Maybe it is a good mindset to have when walking this road of survivorship. - Mallory Casperson 22 ELEPHANTSANDTEA.COM MARCH 2023http://www.ELEPHANTSANDTEA.COM
