Anniversaries
Today is the 20th "anniversary" of Chernobyl and yesterday was the day set aside to mark the Holocaust. Eliot was right when he began The Wasteland with, "April is the cruelest month." Still there enough beautiful, kind or good things here and there to keep one going.
A year ago we were waiting for John's marrow donation and learned we would have an additional week's delay. Now he is a week from finishing college. His latest post on http://johnvscancer.livejournal.com/ was asking what to do with his life. Like we ever figure that one out. Still, it is all the more important a question for someone like him.
If John asked me what to do, I'd be surprised, but I'd say find something you like to do, someone you like to do it with and then let life take care of itself. It may be cruel or kind and much of it is beyond more than prayer.
Anyway, my life has lots of boxes still in it from the move, no where to unpack them and lots of small house problems to deal with. Later.
