Reply #9: I have to tell ya, friends...

...that I am so thankful for blessings this week that I can barely think what to do. When I go to bed at night I look out the window for the moon and stars and think about all those souls leaving the earth this week. I know it's foolish to think of them physically going up in the sky, but I can't help but think of the innocent beings released from their earthly miseries going up into the air like helium balloons, free to soar. I am profoundly grateful for my warm bed, the fact that I can wash my face with hot water and have a glass of cool clean water, and that I will be safe all night. God bless us every one. Life -- so mysterious, so wistful, so bittersweet.
