This bring about so many feelings for me. I keep coming back to just read it...
It is beautiful, and Auden writes in such a way that I really feel, on this level, he understands what true pain is..
Such as this, such as is all great losses...
This is now one of my favorites of all time--probably my most favorite.
I can't help but come back and take a good look at least once each day.
It calms me; it allows me some time to grieve.
Thank you for this, Jon. This is the best thing I've read since her passing.
This is the one time that I felt understood--not just merely pitied.

They say time heals all wounds, but it doesn't...not exactly.
Time changes things. Many years ago, a teacher told us that time and space are not
as we perceive it but rather an infinate intersection of time-space traveling and
extending in all directions forever (some call it string-theory now).
When I think of those I have lost and loved, I wonder where they are now and try to remember
that is we, the living, that remain, but they have become eternal.
I hope you find some peace in both the acceptence of grief and the changes that it can create.
