I love/d Miss Mary too (remotely, sure), but the precognition of other Death, and the demonstration of the tenderness and love through which we experience it, are so obviously so much more Potent and Terrible when they loom over loved People - no matter how remotely. This photo and your description of the circumstances make me want to nicer to everyone, to gentle all the mutable externals surrounding the immutable, crucible, interior elements of life in this world.<BR/><BR/>And I'll miss your Romero-looking cat, who was an incarnation of the dangers in assuming that the inward cat, or other personality, is some simple function of the outward appearance.moietyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12766257318867503863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236210.post-1168916747262242002007-01-15T20:05:00.000-07:002007-01-15T20:05:00.000-07:00In this instance only, c-dub.
