Thanks, Andy. Too much death. Talked to Libby recently and sounds like Beth's kids are doing ok.

Beautiful. These words especially speak to where I am....

Time will heal, they say, but

I disagree. Time simply passes

and the moon keeps moving

in her phases, pulling us

along from shadow to light.

Today she has reemerged,

a sliver, a glimmer, a tiny hook

hanging in the darkest night,

taking a first step toward fullness,

expanding, increasing.

Mind reader...

(and unintended guilt tripper! I need to get back in touch with her. Those kids are terrific. She is too.)
