So sorry for the loss of your friend, that is always hard. Grieving for thousands is harder still... we each find our own way to deal with the pain... easing it with meditation, long walks, creative work, listening to music....marja-leenahttp://www.marja-leena-rathje.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406446365589143789.post-87445875454325579732010-01-20T17:02:57.022+00:002010-01-20T17:02:57.022+00:00You really capture the dilemma of our age when you...You really capture the dilemma of our age when you say this: "Life today demands the impossible, that we are moved by all of this and that we carry on, straight-faced, hard-working, as if unmoved."
