One doesn’t really recover…the whole rest of life is different in my view. One day at a time has become trite, but sometimes it is the only way to push on. Take it easy on yourself as well.</p> My heart is with you. One doesn’t really recover…the whole rest of life is different in my view.

Camped there long ago and found it breathtaking.</p> <p>Rev. Bev, I heard Scott Simon too and could not believe the partisan nature, have found that more and more true since Bush admin. started but always wonder if it is just me. It is fundraising time AGAIN and as my coffers have taken a huge hit, my discretionary giving needs to be very selective and each year when my re-up time rolls around I wonder if it is time to choose some other place– but so far I relent– as long as Dan Schorr and Terry Gross are on I will need to give support. But, yes, the partisanship is not even subtle there anymore. how sad not even to have this one media source untainted– it means I can not trust any longer the reports — maybe I never should have. Layers have been peeled from the eyes these last 8 years, and quite painfully needless to say.</p> What a beautiful essay Dave. Camped there long ago and found it breathtaking.

Thank you so much, I love your writing. I had a temporary irrational fear of flying alone (just the take-off and landing parts) while my children were in their elementary years. I would chant under my breath, “please don’t let my children grow up motherless” … until safely parked at the terminal.</p> <p>SouthernDragon — share your thoughts later after your research, and pet the tigers for me.</p> <p>Janetplanet, my thoughts will be with you today, and my heart is very full.<br /> We hope to see you here often.</p> David, Your beautiful essay provokes tears and wonder at the give and take of the natural world.

The tears are coming down my cheeks as I write this. This is the first time I have opened up about this online. Todays post allowed me, almost made me, share my loss. I can almost feel a weight lift off of me. Thank you again.</p> Thank you so much. The tears are coming down my cheeks as I write this. This is the first time I have opened up about this online.
