       Dedication

      For my mother, An engineer A teacher An immigrant A romantic A dreamer A giver of life Who looked for Paradise Every place she lived.

       But heard are the Voices

       Heard are the Sages,

       The Worlds and the Ages:

       Choose well; your choice is

       Brief, and yet endless.

       —Johann von Goethe
