Dear Mary, you know that I am beyond happy that you enjoyed the post (and of course, the poem)
Word smith? Well, I don't know if I am one of those, but if wanting to the utmost and trying to the utmost will do that....then i am working my way up those smitherly ranks!
I think often of the Holtby quote: When a person that one > loves is in the world and > > alive and well..then to miss them is only a new > flavor, a salt sharpness in > > experience.
He isn't in the world any longer, but i DO miss him as if he still were. And it IS a new flavor, a salt sharpness in the experience. But it is also an ache of longing, a yearning for so many things. I know it is silly to assume that our spirit selves would want the same things as our fleshly selves, but i do hope that one day i might have just one moment of whatever might pass for speach with him.....
