As you can tell, cybermage Bill Schmidt has contributed again to this blog.\u00a0 He set me up on WordPress and has updated this software from time to time, including the new photograph.\u00a0 The old one has only been retired, not eliminated.\u00a0 We would like to find a couple of more photographs I could rotate over the course of year, perhaps a seasonal array.\u00a0 Thanks again, Bill.<\/p>\n
In the docent lounge today I saw Wendy talking with Linda.\u00a0 This was a moment to remind us that we can never tell what lurks in the life of people we see casually from a distance.\u00a0 These two women talking, not remarkable.\u00a0 A woman recently treated for breast cancer and another whose son recently died of an overdose of oxycontin talking, more remarkable.\u00a0 It took my breath away.<\/p>\n
I’ve spoken with both of them over the last few weeks and I can only say that the resilient and yet unblinking attitude they both have is a testament to the human spirit.\u00a0 We never know the full story of those we meet, even those closest to us, because the inner life exists encased in an impenetrable place, the mind and heart of another.\u00a0\u00a0 Still, we do get clues, signals from the interior and they often come in moments of tragedy.<\/p>\n

One of the truest things I have ever read is that each death is an apocalypse for an entire universe dies each time a human dies.\u00a0 This makes these encounters with it more telling, for the stakes are so high.\u00a0 So, the next time you see two people engaged in casual conversation, pause a moment to celebrate this oh so simple, oh so magnificent act.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
