The series is called \u2018Sunday in the Word Garden\u2019 \u2013 and this Sunday was the first reading since tornadoes hit Tallahassee last month.<\/p>\n<p>The series is a project by local artist Katee Tully, who gathers the writers and produces the shows.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, she also gave a eulogy for three pines in her yard, about 80 years old, that had stood tightly together. She called them The Three Graces \u2013 and found them on the ground on May 10th.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I know is that in the same way they grew up together, they were not going to leave each other behind,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I believe those three fabulous ladies locked arms, said \u2018I love you\u2019 and went down together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s poet Marda Messick with a poem about her mother, who would have been 100 years old this month:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe red of the lipstick my mother wore since before the Second World War was as scarlet as Marilyn\u2019s starlet pout on a matching carpet in Hollywood. A red that blotted feathery kisses on cups and tissues, but only one smudge on my father\u2019s cheek.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sunday\u2019s program also included Mark Hinson, Joe Monroe and Paula Gasparini-Santos. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2024 WFSU<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":20104,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[],"tags":[1137,1135],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 -
