Nancy Stevenson
by Nate Bender –November 21, 2008
From a non-traditional family she did evolve,
Shaped by religious order and fine arts appreciation,
A yearning, restless spirit became one of her signatures.
In her youth, bonded at the hip with older brother Peter,
Evoking a lightness of spirit and play,
Offering seminal excursions into freedom of thought and action.
Intelligent, complex, literate, poetic, spiritual, and much more,
She undertook scholarly endeavors at Oberlin in faraway Ohio,
Wherein her life-partner was uncovered.
Now in the autumn years of her life,
More than ever, able to transmit wisdom so deep,
Possessing more freedom to explore, develop and self-validate.
In sum, Nancy Stevenson is the sister I never had and always needed,
Transmitting insights, adventures and affirmations so abundant and uplifting,
Inexplicably enriching and advancing my life to levels unknown.
God bless Nancy Stevenson!
