Today marks the 10th anniversary of the death of Bastard Nation Founding Foundling Gavirela Person aka Amy Lynne Akins. Gavi was an artist, designer, philosopher, spiritual guide, and Bastard visionary. A Jill of all trades and a master of all. Among her many accomplishments is her design of BN's spermie logo.A wonderful memorial to Gavi appears in today's Lizard Chronicles.
Gavi's memory has also been kept at Gavriela Maxime Ze'eva Person Memorial Page maintained by Denise Castalucci.Another memorial is Charles Filius's Gavi Remembered,with messages to her from Bastard Nationals
Whenver you feel isolated, you can call to us and we will hear. Use your breath, your precious life, and change
the world's ways for all of us.
Know we were loved by at least one silent heart.
Be strong and love each other, and the world will surely change.
the world's ways for all of us.
Know we were loved by at least one silent heart.
Be strong and love each other, and the world will surely change.
--Gavi
Bastard born and Bastard bred
