I love him still and the video therefore touched my heart particularly with this as soundtrack. It, and everything you say, also touches my heart particularly because since a close friend of mine died in January, also only in her fifties. I too have experienced that 'out of darkness can come a renewed force of generative energy'. Since then I've had a fierce, painful, necessary urge to do the creative things I want to do. Hard to live with the grief and hard too to live with the energy, but necessary and important.<br /><br />I'm glad to know you've gone to the sea and hope it helps, puts some space and light around the dark.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08690685768980280402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-78445334032499129352010-04-23T13:24:13.604+02:002010-04-23T13:24:13.604+02:00Hotspur:

The family resemblance was shocking making it doubly painful for outsiders. Thanks for the necessary detail about knitting and crayons - the warp and woof, in effect. And for tying her memory to the song, a combination which will remain forever.<br /><br />One personal plea, unless there's some reason you can't.
