It was an epiphany – of sorts. I mean, it wasn’t that I had a sudden, intuitive insight about something but, rather, it’s been rolling around in my head for awhile. However, I like that word so, what can I say, it was an opportunity to use it. I guess it all came together when […]
[Not] Gone… But Forgotten
I know, when you first read the title you probably paused a second wondering if it is a mistake. Well, no, it isn’t a mistake. It’s just that it struck me recently what we do to keep alive our memories of family or friends who are no longer in our life – they may be […]
Feeling The Void
Whenever we see something empty it is quite normal, and generally wise, to fill it back up.
