And in fact the detail in your bolt-holes confirms this; that nothing is truly finished because you yourself aren't finished and you have the ability to look again at yourself and come up with different conclusions. Except that there are no conclusions since nothing is at an end. And I, who had this moderately detailed view of you, must now - I do it thankfully - revise that view and end up with something that is closer to that which I, <i>faute de mieux</i> call truth. So you change and change again, and the capacity for change, allied to honesty, is one of the reasons why I return to Box Elder. Anticipating revelation and, more important, deeper understanding. The perfect friend, constant but paradoxically ever-changing. I don't know how you do that and I worry that I'm too fanciful. But it seemed right as it left my noggin. Maybe I too can change.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-79888980326303130372016-11-15T06:53:58.202+01:002016-11-15T06:53:58.202+01:00These are beautiful, Lucy.

I've been alternating mostly between quiet dread and anger this past week, so I need to remind myself of the good too.<br /><br />The ones I can think of now involve moments during a walk/hike, and quiet moments with some people I love (like last year, visiting my grandma overseas, and sitting with her during a group singing activity at her nursing home, and how much she loved being able to share old songs with me).HKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653570160517335758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-74644018954414416812016-11-15T02:56:08.438+01:002016-11-15T02:56:08.438+01:00i've been resistant to writing. i'm afraid...i've been resistant to writing. i'm afraid what bile and anger will come out. perhaps this is the way to do it - forestall the ugliness, fling out the beauty first. thank you.the polish chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929281676865641560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-9641112938064975812016-11-14T22:19:17.803+01:002016-11-14T22:19:17.803+01:00Oh, that's lovely!Oh, that's lovely!<br />Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523194846272870013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-4690383352605992402016-11-14T22:08:08.619+01:002016-11-14T22:08:08.619+01:00A great idea.

I'll try it when I get home from our current travels, which are softening the blow of the recent disasters, or at least keeping us somewhat distracted.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829062955658284450noreply@blogger.com
