Two almost-could-have-been-colleagues died. It came too close. But we all can't stop travelling and living.

Thank you for the quote Nina Simone gave you; it's beautiful and wise. xo37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-83580661545649383772016-03-26T11:21:59.840-04:002016-03-26T11:21:59.840-04:00Birdie, thank you for this.

This heaviness that I carry because the world is going crazy. (Or is it already gone?) I wish to God that you didn't understand but knowing that you feel the same way I do makes me feel normal. I just don't get how so many can just let the horribleness of the world go and not feel the tormenting pain that we feel. I wish I could let it go but I can't. I simply can't. When you mentioned the mother of those siblings my heart and soul reacted immediately and I want to go to her. And I want to go to you and offer you any comfort that I can because I know how it burdens your heart. <br />I don't know if I am making any sense. I just wanted you to know that I thank God for you. xoBirdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479872783727855901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-87784518357775422932016-03-25T16:04:21.107-04:002016-03-25T16:04:21.107-04:00How incredibly perfect, your capturing of all of t...How incredibly perfect, your capturing of all of this. <br />Yes.
