Talking to Crickets, Presentation/Workshop by Ronda Miller
Available on weekends for Senior Centers, churches,
hospice centers, writing groups, libraries, and other interested parties. This presentation is
directed to those, and/or their caregivers and loved ones—past or present, who
have received a diagnosis of a terminal illness. The presentation will
concentrate on how—just as we think we may have killed a cricket only to find
later it is alive, well, and chirping—we, as humans, live until we die.
Participants will discuss the importance of making legacies and passions known
to family and friends, how we struggle with the ongoing loss of loved ones
while preserving our own health, and be guided in the best methods of writing
the legacies of lost loved ones and/or self . . . for each of us.
Miller asks that
participants send poems or short prose writings prior to the presentation,
should they wish.
