This is beautifully written Jim, as always. I too daily grieve for Bobby as he is the closest I ever had to having a child. Yes, I grieve for parents, siblings, friends who share the horror of those lost too soon, and by such horrifying ways. Leo and Kena are so blessed to have you in their lives. I am glad you are in Paris as I know that brings you joy to be there with your partner and extended family. May you find peace, joy, and continue to write your incredible musings.
"Kowtow to the Holy Spirit" that made me laugh. Thank You for once again being able to put into words such vivid emotion, truth, and relatable stories. My heart aches and yet, hope is not completely lost. Love...
Paris is a profoundly 'maternal' city on many levels, and this is a time for Mothering. As the buddha taught: "At one time or another, all beings have been our mothers. Regard them as such." A powerful contemplation in a time of very confused masculinity run amok.
