by Andrea Mulder-Slater I'm afraid Afraid of what? You often ask me. Of loneliness - I answer. Don't be ridiculous, you tell me. You'll never be alone, I hear you say. As you quietly leave me. Always. Careful. To shut the door behind you.

by Andrea Mulder-Slater On a day, just a day, quite like any other, Geoff was taken to hospital with pain in his lower back. Thinking it might be a form of arthritis, a resident doctor, training to become a rheumatologist, performed an examination. After carefully feeling each joint and calmly commenting on the absence of inflammation in the knees, ankles, wrists and fingers, the young doctor suddenly became visibly puzzled after she asked to see my husband's palms.

Though his vocabulary was far, far greater than mine, he always appreciated the bits of stuff I came up with and I always endeavored to understand the things he wrote.

Paper, canvas and glue are the media of choice for me at the moment, and as I began to work with these materials, the pieces begged for words.
